	RWANDAN EARTHQUAKE One of Caring and Sharing ‘s projects is providing pensions for retired pastors and widows of pastors of the Anglican church in four dioceses in Rwanda. On Sunday 3 February, an earthquake measuring 6.2 on the Richter Scale struck the Great Lakes area of Africa. There was a subsequent one registering 5.0 three hours later and then a series of small after tremors. More than 40 people were killed in DR Congo and Rwanda. Ten people were killed at a Roman Catholic church in Kamembe. Many schools, hospitals and health centres, churches, businesses and homes have been destroyed or partially destroyed and there is a considerable amount of rebuilding work which will have to be done to restore this already poor area of the country to its former state. The diocese of Cyangugu was badly hit and there has been considerable damage to many of the diocesan buildings. The Peace Guest House has suffered greatest damage. Many parts of the outside wall have been destroyed and other parts have bad cracks. Dormitories and classrooms in the Jill Barham Secondary School have also been damaged. Other schools have suffered minor damages and are in need of repair. All of the diocesan houses and a number of pastors’ houses are in need of some repair with cracks in most which will have to be repaired as soon as possible. One of the most badly hit areas was the parish of Nkombo, an island on the Lake, which is also one of the poorest parishes where people were already living in very poor housing. There is much evidence of malnutrition, lack of hygiene, poor sanitation…….. and now houses without walls. It is ironic that on such occasions as these the poorest always suffer the most.
