Community Service

These are the four orphans: Muhindo, Kambale, Kambale, and Manda.




The students of UCBC are required to do community service as part of their education here in Beni. One group of students went to visit orphans of the war here in the Congo. While they were there they discovered that the students didn't have anyone to ask for money to take their tests. Here for you to attend final exams you have to pay a fee for each test. Since the students were orphans, they couldn't ask their parents or family members for the money. So my students decided to take up a collection to help the students be able to take their finals. I was super excited to contribute and to see how my students saw a need and worked hard to meet it!
