CI-UCBC On the Air
As of August 27, 2011, Congo Initiative-UCBC is now "on the air" with our very own radio studio and FM channel! A strategic initiative of CI-UCBC, Radio Tele Bilingue (RTB): "The Voice of Transformation" already reaches a 40-kilometer radius from the UCBC campus. Between 400,000 and 700,000 people have daily access to RTB programming, even as the radio station is still under construction and the procurement of equipment is still in process.

Sewing Renewed Hope
University education is not the only thing that takes place through Congo Initiative. Our vision "to train and develop strong, indigenous Christian leaders" includes the renewal of families and communities through our 5 community centers that stand in partnership with, but distinct from, UCBC (Université Chrétienne Bilingue du Congo). Passionate about helping vulnerable and disadvantaged women to gain employment and skills for self-support, Dr. Kaswera Kasali works through the Center for Community and Family Renewal. Kaswera gives her time and talents to mentoring, teaching and encouraging women in need on a weekly basis. For example, she teaches a group of women how to sew, and assists them in locating markets for their products.

Support the "Voice of Transformation"
To assure consistency of Radio Tele Bilingue's transmission, the station is in need of a dedicated power source--a reliable, well-built generator. The total cost for this critical piece of equipment, including delivery and set-up is $12,000. A generous donor has pledged a challenge grant $5,000 if we can raise the additional $7,000.
So, here's the challenge: If 300 recipients of this newsletter give just $25 each, we'll exceed our goal. All we're asking for is $25. Please consider making your donation today. And consider doubling or even tripling your donation to cover someone who is unable to respond to this challenge.
Support RTB: The Voice of Transformation today by clicking on the link below. Please be sure to note "radio generator" in the comments box on the donation form. Thank you, in advance, for your support!
