Our precious little medical center in the depths of the jungle of Congo, in the village of Samana, is already housed and people are happily surrounding it and waiting for the doctor and his equipment, beds, medical tools, medicines, which are essential for its operation.
It was quite difficult to build it in this remote area of the jungle, as all the materials had to come from the capital Kinshasa, which is over a thousand kilometres away. The transport of the materials, which took two months to reach the banks of the Saguru river, was assisted by the villagers. Their toil, agony and sweat are nearing their end. I am sending you a photo of the building. The people are happy, because they won’t have to walk for days to find a doctor, a medicine. They are grateful to the Brotherhood of the Orthodox Foreign Mission and to the donor from Thessaloniki, they pray for him and his family, they thank God, who enlightened this philanthropist from Greece, far away for them, to think of them and to give them this precious gift for their health. They also thank their Bishop, who was the first to choose their village Samana, for this necessary medical treatment. + The African centrist Nikephoros
