Goma, DR Congo – June 2024 - On Thursday 27 June, Fr George Menamparampil concluded his visit to the Salesian St Joseph Delegation of Central East Africa. His mission was aimed at "sharing experiences and supporting the financial management and mobilization of funds within the AFC-EST delegation". On this occasion, Fr Menamparampil animated a two-day formation session, 25-26 June, for the Economers of all the communities of the Delegation in order to help them improve the management of assets and patrimony. Before the session, Fr Menamparampil visited several Salesian communities in AFC-EST, with the exception of that of Shasha due to the war situation that forced the Salesians to leave it and take refuge at Don Bosco Ngangi, in Goma. The visit ended on 27 June with a meeting with members of the AFC-EST Delegation's Planning and Development Office (PDO) team. During the meeting, Fr George Menamparampil shared tips and suggestions that could help the PDO to better support Salesian communities. Fr Carlos Balezi Kabumba, SDB Director of the Planning and Development Office of the AFC-EST, warmly thanked Fr Menamparampil for all the guidance provided to the Economers and the PDO team with a view to judicious management of the assets of the respective communities.
