The second largest country of Africa, full of paradoxes. On one hand, it is rich in natural resources (including cobalt, copper, coltan, crude oil, diamonds, gold); on the other hand, its inhabitants are among the poorest in the world.

From Sister Agnieszka in Ntamugenga we are receiving chilling news of explosions just 10 km from our centre. The conflict between the rebels and the army is growing in intensity again. Any day now, the number of wounded, sick and hungry will increase. Most of them will be women and children. Some of our patients, whose photos you can see here, are still in our care.

When I was leaving for tests with other patients, I asked the physiotherapist to bring Dawid some juice – maybe he will wake up from this coma, maybe he will be thirsty? The news of Dawid’s passing reached Sister Agnieszka the same day. She had fought for him for many months, providing him with treatment […]
