The arrival of children and the opening Our 
In an empty while children are in class take this opportunity to tell some of the many things I'd like to share with you.
almost a month ago, which began operating our center. On October 1, from very early morning children began to arrive from all corners of the Tandjilé. Were accompanied by a priest, a nun, a catechist, a family member or just a neighbor who cared for them so far. Some come here meant to many miles by bicycle or on foot, as in Chad there is no public transportation. Mika told us he had to walk 40 km to reach Laï where Bishop was waiting for him here.
Luggage simple enough, was in most cases in a plastic bag which kept other pants, something used and not very clean and a shirt to change. Many other children came with nothing.
were each handed them a sheet, a bucket for washing, a bar of soap and a toothbrush.
that day only had the evening meal, as is normal for most Chadians. The coming days will have three, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The menu consists of a check ball of rice, millet or corn accompanied by a sauce made with different leaves, or spinach, manioc, beans, of osey ..
In the late afternoon some began to mourn the reasons ... difficult to understand and explain, they speak eight different languages \u200b\u200band hardly any French.
For children would be a special night, and they were waiting for brick houses of similar structure typical construction of the Chad, circular shape with brand new bed and mattress. In Chad is a rare person who has a mattress to sleep, there are some traditional mats made of palm tree which when dry is easy to weave, and it is stretched on the floor. If a house there was a mattress to sleep, it never will be for the child.
Finally came the hour of rest, although it was only 21:30 h. All night we were exhausted and required rest for the big day that awaited us tomorrow.
At least today we have achieved our goal, lucky to make the most wretched of the earth. (-----------------------_____________----------------------)
On October 2 the sun rises at 5:00 a.m.. Children begin to wake up when the sun and the smells of center party, celebrating the inauguration. There are many preparations that need to be ready for the arrival of the authorities, we need time, we lack hands and people have many tasks, but since then, amid the din of children began to give us life. For many of them go to a place where there is a well near the house and several water faucets where you can take more than a treasure, imagine what they have done nothing but get out of bed? Then wash from top to bottom, washing clothes, bedding, flip-flops ... everything. There is water, and that is a treasure! Soon
begin to reach the authorities, the bishop, the prefect, the prefect, the head of canton, the police, the minister of social affairs, education and family and teacher.
The opening ceremony is very emotional, left behind several years of work to get everything you need to start a center of these qualities, ie grants, projects, foreign aid, people who worked on it today and next of all material and economic lot of illusions.
Especially significant was the mention by the authorities, mostly Muslim, the response so great that the Catholic church gave every day situations more difficult to be living in Chad. What is the value of our response when they have delivered such a difficult situation well?
Engage in the creation of a school for orphans in Chad is really to be left of hope, humanity, courage ... and we're in the fifth poorest country in the world, where only the city of more than 3000 Kelo children living in extremely vulnerable because a parent or both have died, because they can not go to school because they have more food than that every day can be achieved by their own means, just because the diseases are treated and it off traffic children in our city is a harsh reality. At the moment this is the only center dedicated to children throughout the region there
Today we thank everyone who helped, along with a large contribution or the small action they should. Continue to be many "YES" to change the difficult reality of children.
Amid a ceremony full of protocols, formalities and officials the best of all is when Miguel Angel Sebastian will read his speech and see that you left at home.
The ceremony ends with the blessing of the center of the hands of Miguel Angel Sebastian accompanied by children.
Next the food arrives. For us it is a moment of rage, because our protagonists are the children ... and they now must be the last to eat. More amounts authorities first, then the secondary, the other guests and finally the children. The menu was different depending on the range. To compensate for children today will have a drink for the ball.
