Singing in times of Covid-19

My name is Espérance Mirindi, I was born in Goma (Democratic Republic of Congo) where I grew up with my family and spent the early years of my life. After high school, I moved to Bukavu (South Kivu) for college / university. I recently got the opportunity of taking part in a musical project called the digital transcultural Choir which organized by the Evangelischer Kirchenkreis Dortmund; this was a joyful experience for me because I always loved singing, when I wake up, when I am going about all my daily activities, I am always singing.Singing is probably the biggest part of my life, it shows my personality and makes me happy anytime. I can always count on singing to reboot my mood when I fell down or going through tough times. I will never thank God enough for this beautiful gift he gave to me.

Say “No” to Racism

By Carol from India,   Today I will be talking about a very important matter, something, which is important, and something, which cannot be unseen or unheard, unless, and until we all do something together towards it. I will be talking about two Netflix series, in order to explain my point here.

What I really miss now

by Georges from DR Congo This period of lockdown is hard to bear,but we have no choice. Before covid-19,we went for a walk,we planned the day well, because everything planned came true and at the end of the week, on sunday, we went to church to pray to God and proclaim his worders. During this time of covid-19, all activities are blocked, even the churches and schools are closed. During this period, with us: no walks so no outings as before. We go out only when we need to go to the market to have a food stock.

Inspiration from the Voluntary Service

By Josephat Seleman Hema from Tanzania. I couldn’t imagine that I would come to rediscover a number of things back home after my volunteering service, which like everyone else’s, ended abruptly. I was coming back to Tanzania, the country that I know more than much I would say. But I happen to smile every time, I realised that I’m re-learning most of the things after coming back.
