It is with saddness that we communicate that Kenzo's father passed away February 1, 2012..

Please pray for the family at this difficult time, particularly as they are separated with Kenzo in Boma and Lau and the boys in Calgary and Ami in Korea.

ReGen Community Meeting

Last evening, the board of ReGen met to review progress as well as consider some program changes. The highlights of the meetings are as follow:

• We approved a new program called Vocational Training which is focused on providing training to create marketable skills which can generate earnings. The first initiative under this program is a project to provide seamstress training for women in Boma, DR Congo.
• We approved scholarship awards to 45 students at FACTEB, the Boma based seminary.
• Fundraising in 2011 is going well with the one are of concern being the African Leaders program which is doing well but below the lvels where we can pay out the scholarships in full.

If you have more questions about the meeting or about ReGen in general, drop us a line. We would love to hear from you.
