Congo Threads

A JOYFUL REUNION PARTY 😁
-This celebration at Ishara House was to honor our dear friend/director Herman Chirihambali’s first time being with our children and staff for many months.

Since the end of last year the armed conflict escalated to such a degree that life in the region (eastern DRCongo) became unbearable. Thousands of innocent people have been killed. Many thousands have been forced to flee and become refugees, both within the borders of Congo and to neighboring countries.
It really has been a horrific humanitarian disaster.

Luckily Herman was able to be in phone contact almost daily with our house mothers and staff in Mujwidja but journeying there was not possible till last week.

These precious photos were taken by Herman on the day of his return last week.

We are so excited to share the following video and photos of the wonderful Easter Sunday celebrations at Ishara House (Mukwidja, DRC).

It’s a joyful reminder to know that despite very concerning on-going challenges currently occurring in Congo, that our beautiful children were able partake in a delicious feast, lovingly prepared by our amazing and tireless house mothers - Chibalonza and Salome.
And as always, and of course…. music and dancing! 🤩

Incredible thanks to Herman Chirihambali for his facilitation of ALL of this love and care that our Ishara House children receive.
And for your ongoing mentorship to them. We cannot thank you enough Papa Herman.
