Rapport d’un projet mis-en-œuvre avec le soutien financier de la WACC
Par Christiane Ribouis, Association Espoir Vivre Ensemble, Benin
 |
|
Depuis plus de deux décennies marquées par l’extension de l’épidémie du VIH/SIDA en Afrique de l’Ouest, des initiatives multiples plus ou moins structurées ont vu le jour, aux niveaux individuel, communautaire et institutionnel. Parmi les acteurs impliqués, la société civile à travers les ONG, les Associations et les Réseaux de PVVIH se sont particulièrement investis dans la mobilisation communautaire. Cette implication a été d’un apport considérable pour une réponse adéquate face à l’épidémie. |

In Sierra Leone, a West African country still recovering from civil war, a church-operated radio station is about to hit the airwaves with messages of peace and reconciliation. Radio Shalom, project of the Council of Churches of Sierra Leone (CCSL) and the Toronto-based World Association for Christian Communication (WACC), will broadcast from Freetown, the capital city. It hopes to reach nearly two million people in the area. |

Dear Kenyan Members of WACC Africa Region and friends,
 |
|
I believe we all received the letter from our President Rev. Dave Wanless and also from the WACC Global office calling for our financial support for Radio Shalom a community radio for peace, trauma healing and reconciliation by the Church in Sierra Leone. You probably would want to support this project and are thinking: what difference can my little contribution make; or without a credit card how do I submit my little support; or I don’t even have a foreign account…these thoughts have also crossed by mind and so I wrote to the global office on the same, who then suggested that they could take a dollar check made out in the name of the project. |

Dear friends of WACC Africa Region
My Lenten greetings to you, and I trust that you are journeying spiritually well towards our commemoration of Christ’s sacrifice.
I ask you to remember our Vice President, Dr Tharcisse Gatwa, in your prayers at this time. We only learnt 10 days ago that he has been seriously ill since the end of last year, and is currently receiving treatment at hospitals in Scotland. We wish him a speedy recovery.
Please accept my apologies that this letter is a little late. Last week, I was in Nairobi, attending the Partners Meeting of the ALL Africa Conference of Churches. Much of the meeting was taken up with AACC’s programme reports and preparations for their 50th Jubilee meeting, which is to be held in Uganda in June next year. It was nevertheless a good opportunity to connect with some of our mutual funders, and to present WACC’s new “Communication for All” strategy to a critical group of African Church leaders.

ENGLISH/ FRENCH
Dear friends of WACC Africa Region,
ON behalf of the Officers, please accept my belated good wishes to you for a prosperous 2012 from Cape Town. I trust you had a blessed festive season.
Since my last letter to you, your Executive has been keeping in touch by e-mail, but with the holidays, there has been little activity.
However, we are gearing up for our next meeting and seminar which will take place in Lome, Togo at the end of March. We are hoping that guests and speakers from Nigeria, Benin and Liberia will be able to attend a seminar on the theme “Communication for All” which is the new theme adopted by WACC globally as part of its new Strategic Plan 2012-2016. We will also have a continuation of the leadership training some of us had during the global Board meeting in Toronto last October.
