WHAT IS HAPPENING?

April 22 – a day to remind us that the Earth does not belong to us, but to our grandchildren.

Representing our association, Dr. Gergő Péter Juhász and Csaba Szeremley, along with Christian Cito Cirhigiri on behalf of our cooperating organization in Eastern Congo (VÉTO), participated in a meeting with State Secretary Mr. Tristan Azbej, head of Hungary Helps Agency.

At the Ráday House, we expressed our gratitude to the Hungarian Reformed Church and the Hungary Helps for the support they provided to assist the families of massacred Congolese Christians.

Today, the president of our Association, Dr. Péter Gergő Juhász, head of the Sustainable Africa Research Institute Óbuda University, gave an inspiring and insightful presentation titled "Sustainable Africa" to the students of Bessenyei György High School in Kisvárda.

Today, we celebrate Dr. Jane Goodall – the scientist who redefined what it means to be human, the activist who speaks out for our planet and its animals, and the conservation icon who has inspired a global movement for positive change.

The Reformed Church in Hungary and the Hungary Helps program are each providing 5 million forints in aid to persecuted Christians in Congo. Recently, seventy Christians were abducted and beheaded in a Protestant church in the northeastern region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Today is International Tree Planting Day!

Trend FM interviewed the president of our Association about the conflict in Eastern Congo.

We had the opportunity to give a presentation during the "Pilgrims of Hope" career orientation project day in Kisvárda.

The purpose of the meeting was to discuss potential areas of cooperation between the Institute of International Relations at Kyiv University, the Institute for African Strategy, and the Africa Research Institute of Óbuda University in Hungary, with the goal of supporting joint initiatives in both Europe and Africa.

After completing their programs in Uganda, Péter and Csaba traveled back to Kigali, the capital of Rwanda.

The work continues in Uganda, as Csaba and Péter visited several new locations on Lake Bunyonyi.
