The community participation was impressive. In addition to having made reservoirs and fountains they had dug a six kilometer one meter deep trench leading from where the source was capped to the last of a half dozen fountains.
Three villages had worked together for three months, each village working two days a week. They call this way of working together Salongo. Nearly all the villagers work on communal projects until 11h00, in the afternoon going about their own business. Teachers are excused and should a villager not which to work he can pay an exemption per day of 400 Francs Congolais, about 75 US cents.
Villagers contribute 200 Francs Congolais for the maintenance of the project. We were told that this was the same cost as two bottles of banana beer and therefore was affordable.
I suspect that the participation was particularly successful because of the help of the diocese and the lack of fighting in the village. For the villagers the diocese is credible, it supports the villagers on a variety of issues and has been doing so for years. The lack of damage from war or displacement means that villagers do not have to spend their timer repairing what has been lost and broken and hence have more time to spare for community work.
I had an opportunity to explore the construction site for the future city centre and captured a few interesting perspectives.
My attempt at a quick character head-drawing exercise developed by @Shaun_Bryant (on Twitter). You can find him on You Tube under the channel name Shaun Bryant Art. My theme for this exercise was Fictional Characters' New Year's Resolutions. Basically, he gives you head shapes and you try to quickly draw characters using those shapes.

In 2018, USAID launched the second-annual Digital Development Awards (the “Digis”) to recognize USAID projects that harness the power of digital tools and data-driven decision making. The WeMUNIZE program was one of five winners chosen out of the 140 applicants. It is implemented by local technology start-up Black Swan Tech Ltd through USAID’s Maternal and Child Survival Program led by Jhpiego.
Faced with limited local record keeping and low levels of literacy and connectivity, the WeMUNIZE program uses a combination of digital record keeping and community engagement to increase early childhood immunizations. For families participating in the WeMUNIZE program, dropout rates have fallen to below 10 percent.
The project recruits primarily women for their team of trained volunteers and supports them with free mobile phones, empowering women to help their communities and overcome social barriers.
Thanks to its coordination with the Government of Nigeria, the project shares the immunization data generated to improve stakeholder coordination and transfers ownership to the state government to build local capacity.

Plan has been running a project since 2005 to help children who are living on railway tracks. Research revealed that 700 children live on railway stations, including runaway kids. Children sleep on the roofs of the railway tracks or in hide outs alongside the railway tracks. Once they grow older, they disappear into trafficking and prostitution.
Parc Lineal Garcia Fària
Aquest parc, de més d'un quilòmetre de llargària, enllaça dos grans espais verds del litoral barceloní: el Parc del Poblenou i el Parc de Diagonal Mar. Ideal per circular-hi en bicicleta, ja sigui per passejar o per desplaçar-se per la zona on està situat, el Parc Lineal Garcia Fària també és una excel•lent porta d'accés a les platges més properes al Besòs i a l'espai del Fòrum Barcelona 2004.
El Parc Lineal Garcia Fària és el resultat d'una sàvia combinació de topografia i vegetació, quelcom que dóna lloc a espais paral·lels molt ben diferenciats, separats per grans parterres, alguns de plans i altres d'atalussats. Ocupa l'espai situat sobre el gran aparcament que hi ha en un costat de la Ronda del Litoral.
Per la banda de la muntanya s'estén un carril bici, llarguíssim i molt ample, delimitat pel parterre que fa la funció de mitgera entre les dues zones del parc i el parterre que el separa de la calçada del passeig que li dóna nom.
De tant en tant, els parterres s'interrompen en amples accessos de comunicació entre un costat i l'altre del parc. Si passem a la banda del mar, el límit esdevé una mena de mirador sobre les platges properes. Aquí és on hi ha les zones d'estar i els jocs infantils.
Es pot accedir directament a les platges creuant el parc pels carrers de Bac de Roda, la Selva de Mar i Josep Pla.
Vegetació
El verd, organitzat en faixes, està format per espècies adequades a la situació del parc, a primera línia de mar i sense elements construïts que protegeixin la vegetació. És per aquest motiu que abunden els tamarius (Tamarix gallica).
Als parterres que donen al passeig hi ha gramínies de diferents espècies, amb combinacions d'alçada molt ornamentals. Hi trobem Hyparrhenia sp., Festuca sp., Pennisetum setaceum i Pennisetum villosum. També hi ha mates de Nassella tenuissima, una gramínia que oneja harmoniosa quan bufa el vent.
Juntament amb les gramínies, els grans protagonistes vegetals d'aquest parc són els baladres (Nerium oleander), de floracions espectaculars, i les palmeres, sobretot les washingtònies (Washingtonia filifera). També hi ha margallons (Chamaerops humilis) i, fent ombra, petits grups de morera del paper (Broussonetia papyrifera).
Història
El Parc Lineal Garcia Fària forma part de la reordenació urbanística del front litoral del Besòs, situat a la desembocadura del riu, que es va realitzar en motiu del Fòrum Mundial de les Cultures Barcelona 2004. Aquest esdeveniment va tenir com a principal objectiu la reflexió i el diàleg al voltant de la diversitat cultural, el desenvolupament sostenible i la pau. La nova urbanització va permetre recuperar una gran extensió del front litoral situada entre els termes municipals de Barcelona i Sant Adrià de Besòs.

Garcia Fària Linear Park
This park, which is more than a kilometre long, connects two large coastal green spaces in Barcelona: the Poblenou Park and the Diagonal Mar Park. It is ideal for bikes, either if you are on a leisure ride or trying to get around the area. The Garcia Fària Linear Park is also an excellent entrance to the beaches closest to Besòs and the Barcelona 2004 Forum.
The Garcia Fària Linear Park is the result of a wise combination of topography and vegetation. It gives rise to very different parallel spaces that are separated by large flower beds, some flat and others more inclined. It occupies the space located over the large parking area next to the Ronda Litoral coastal road.
On the mountainous side, there is an extremely long and very wide bike path which is bordered by flower beds that serve as a median between the two park areas and the flower bed that separates it from the walkway that gives it its name.
Every so many metres, the flower beds are interrupted by large entries that link one side of the park and the other. If you are walking on the sea side, the border becomes a kind of viewpoint over the nearby beaches. Here is where the rest areas and child play areas are located.
The beaches can be accessed directly by crossing the park on Bac de Roda, Selva de Mar and Josep Pla streets.
Vegetation
The greenery, organized in strips, is made up of species that are suitable to the location of the park right on the beachfront and free of any man-made elements to protect the vegetation. This why the tamarisks (Tamarix gallica) are plentiful.
There different fountain grass species with very ornamental height combinations in the flowerbeds that stretch to the walkway. You can find Hyparrhenia sp., Festuca sp., Pennisetum setaceum and Pennisetum villosum. There are also small bushes of Nassella tenuissima, grass that ripples harmoniously when the wind blows.
Along with the grass, the main protagonists of this park are the spectacular blooming Oleanders (Nerium oleander) and the palm trees, especially the California fan palms (Washingtonia filifera). You can also find Mediterranean fan palms (Chamaerops humilis) and small groups of paper mulberries (Broussonetia papyrifera) that provide shade.
History
The Garcia Fària Linear Park is part of the urban re-zoning of the Besòs coast at the river mouth which was done at the time of the Universal Forum of Cultures, Barcelona 2004. The main objective of that event was reflection and dialogue on cultural diversity, sustainable development and peace. The urban development made it possible to recover a large section of the coast located between the municipal districts of Barcelona and Sant Adrià de Besòs.

In Basoko I again stayed in the Procure. It gave me the chance to attend the joyful Mass in Basokos outsized church, which bears a curious resemblance to Notre Dame in Paris. Over dinner I had the very good fortune to speak with the three charming and dedicated priests working there. They were led by Father Marc whose tales of village life bore a resemblance to Don Camillo. We talked over how African theology differs from Liberation theology, the rise of the evangelist churches in Congo, squabbles with the local authorities and the challenges of keeping a football pitch green.
