flag Hi Sister Jo-Ann,
I am glad to have discovered your blog. I have no idea of how the Congo looks like now since I haven't been home since 2007. Thank you for taking the courage to go and for sharing your experience. Next time I will sent you a picture of the flag the one you have is not used presently.
God bless you !
What a wonderful account of a modern missionary journey! Congratulations to the Congolese sisters for their enthusiasm and commitment to learning.
They will surely ignite a great zeal for learning in their students when classes resume!
Three cheers to Margaret and Maureen for their missionary spirit and their expertise as dedicated educators.
Thanks for the travel blog! Jo-Ann...really enjoyed reading your blog. You did a great job! Loved the photos, videos, and learning about the amazing work you are doing! God Bless!

Congo Trip Thanks for using a blog. I am posting information from your blog on our SNDdeN_SunPower Twitter account and sharing your travels. We have lots of followers so I am sure many will learn about the work in the Congo. Best wishes to all. Our prayers are with all of you.
the information Jo-Ann,
I love the specific descriptions plus photos that you offer. If appropriate it would be so interesting to know what they say about their interests and their families.
Love, Marie
Can they introduce themselves? Hi Everyone. Would love to know who are the sisters in the groups, and where they are in ministry. Can they tell something about themselves in your blog?
following you now Hi Jo-Ann,
Just back from Mexico. You're doing a great job. Love the pictures. And the info re recovering your bags in the airport reminded me so much of my experience in Nigeria. - It was a little scary.
God bless you all. Just a month ago I went to Kinshasa for the first time and stayed for two weeks over there. I experienced exactly the same you saw at the airport and in the road to Kin, so your entries at this blog bring me a lot of memories. Since my trip there, everything that happens at DRC is of interest for me and my family. That's how we found your blog.
Even if I stayed at Gombe, I could see enough of DRC to begin understanding the suffering of that country. It's a hard place to be, and its people need all of the help we can provide. So I admire you and your sisters and thank you for going there. Hope you may be safe and God give you the strenght and wisdom to help the congolese. God bless you all, and please be careful.
I'm traveling with three other U.S. Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur (SNDdeN) on a trip to Kimwenza in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Our team is part of PACE (Preparatory and Continuing Education), and our students are 40 Congolese Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. The Congo-Kinshasa Province of our congregation dates back to 1894, when a courageous group of Belgian SNDs started the mission. Today about 120 Congolese sisters, with three Americans and one Belgian, form the membership of the province.... full info

It was one of the nicest places that I’ve stayed. Hopefully you’ll find a way to make it happen
