FPI DRC/Goma celebrates Christmas with Orphans
The Eastern part of DRC has been subjected to conflicts between the DRC army and militias for more than 15 years. The population from this part of the country faces poverty, violence, hunger and more.
In 2007, Sister Alveira founded the "Flamme d'amour" orphanage to take care of children from that part of the country, especially in Masisi territory (1 600 km away from Kinshasa). The orphanage presently takes care of 185 children aged from 6 months to 18 years. Unfortunately, only the smallest ones (6 months to 7 years) are served milk everyday due the unavailability of the product.
Our staff of the Goma branch visited the orphans in December 2014 to celebrate Christmas with the children and bring them comfort through a donation of milk. The children were so happy that they thanked our team with an improvised show.
