Trip down memory lane

When I was here in Congo (then called Zaire) as a kid, I spent most of my time in Karawa. Karawa is a town about 70 km East of Gemena and is traditionally a Covenant Church mission station but it was also where a missionary boarding school had been installed. MKs from all over the area came to school there and would live there, in a dormitory, while attending classes. I have many, many memories of Karawa and UBAC (Ubangi Academy), most of them very fond. Three weeks ago, Sarah, Hannah and I, along with Aaron, Michelle and Soleil had a chance to visit Karawa and I took lots of pictures. It was interesting to see how many things have changed but how other things are right where and how they used to be.
