Bringing CAL to Africa
A designated donation of nearly $30,000 by the Westside Community Church in Morden, Manitoba is enabling CPI to initiate a CAL program for Grades 7-9 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The first school will be established in Kikwit, a city of about 400,000 people in the southwestern part of the country. An orientation trip to the DRC by Theo and Gloria Fumana of Edmonton, Alberta that was scheduled for March has been postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
