Pius X High School Gives to Congo

Pius X High School’s—Club World Aid—hosted a benefit concert on Monday, 28th February 2011. Proceeds were donated to VOICA projects in Aru, DRC. As the money traveled from Lincoln, Nebraska to New Mexico (USA-VOICA Headquarters) to Rome, Italy & then Congo, the sum of $1,250 finally arrived during the first week of May.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! At this moment, all of the money is being used to complete the final room of the Youth Center. This room will be for meetings, conferences, & serve as the first-ever CINEMA!

I can’t really express in words how exciting this venture is for the community. Construction began in February 2010 & ever since the volunteers, construction workers  and community members have been working, waiting and praying for its completion. VOICA is deeply grateful for those who have been working tirelessly on the construction: Bolingo, Maurice, Orio, Cong'a and Jean-Paul. Also, the African safari murals in the children's room are attributed to Julien; an aspiring artist and regular at the Cyber Cafe. Please check out more photos of the library in the slideshow.
