Safari is a Swahili word that means a journey that changes you. Only when Gayle totally surrendered to God the re-scheduling of her Covid interrupted African safari trip, did God respond by weaving a tapestry of people, places, animals and experiences that revealed His creation as He had planned it and the genuine people He has entrusted it to. From South Africa to Namibia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Kenya, this true month long story re-affirms God's active interaction with us if we will initiate a "Godversation". He loves to have a chat with us. With God in your Jeep, He will challenge you with assignments that make you eager to do more. He instructed Gayle to share this inspirational story. He wants His children to remember Him and to come back to Him! As God is my witness, this is all true! Gayle Bolton from Savannah, Georgia is a mother of 3 daughters and 5 grandchildren. For her 69 th birthday she took off solo for a month-long safari in Africa with God as her only companion. Safari is a Swahili word meaning journey. God taught her to embrace her safari that He had uniquely planned for her. She learned to listen to Him and to follow His direction. The joy she experienced being on God's assignment reinforced her conviction to be a child of God. God has a uniquely designed safari for everyone. Embrace your safari!

The central aim of this book is to investigate and develop frameworks to aid effective maintenance management of municipal buildings in the education sector of developing economies. Using the South African education sector as a case study, this book provides readers with two major practical insights. Firstly, it focuses on the theoretical underpinnings of maintenance management research and introduces a maintenance management model through the development of a conceptual framework. This framework aids in explaining the factors underpinning the maintenance of municipal buildings but can also be used in the assessment and management of other public buildings. Secondly, the book highlights and addresses theoretical gaps in existing studies essential for the maintenance management of buildings in developing economies, providing a stimulus for future research.The book will be of interest to researchers in construction management, building technology, estate management, civil engineering, architecture, and urban and regional planning. It is an essential manual for policymakers in the education sector, built environment, construction industry, facility maintenance, facility management and consultants at government ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) charged with maintenance management of public infrastructures and assets.

Comment peut-on expliquer l'extrême pauvreté qui frappe les populations congolaises, avec un PIB par habitant de 622 USD en 2022, alors que le pays est assis sur au moins 24 000 milliards USD de ressources naturelles ? Comment peut-on avoir un taux très élevé de chômage dans un pays où les opportunités sur le plan de la création d'emplois sont immenses ? La République Démocratique du Congo a-t-elle réellement besoin de vivre éternellement de la mendicité ?D'aucuns sont conscients du fait que l'Histoire d'une Nation ne s'appréhende pas sous le prisme du fanatisme, du tribalisme, ou pour des raisons partisanes. Cela doit se faire sur la base des faits réels ou, à défaut, de leur interprétation en toute objectivité. La Grande Histoire de la République Démocratique du Congo doit donc être abordée en toute impartialité, et non par chauvinisme individualiste ou régional.Bref, la République Démocratique du Congo a besoin de mouvement et d'innovation, d'élan salvateur et de renouveau, de courage et de suite dans les idées. De plus, la gestion d'un pays passe obligatoirement par un véritable projet de société à savoir des perspectives constructives. Alors, plutôt que le statu quo ante ou la régression, il faut une métamorphose en vue d'un futur glorieux et digne d'une grande locomotive d'Afrique centrale !

"In the year 2019 Rwanda marked twenty-five years after the genocide against the Tutsi. Sadly, Catholic priests and nuns were complicit - or even participated in the killing of an estimated 800,000 ethnic Tutsis. Thousands of people were slaughtered in Catholic Churches where they took refuge. For example, 5000 people are estimated to have been killed at the Ntarama Catholic Church in August 1994. In March of 2017, Pope Francis issued an apology, remarking that "the sins and failings of the Church and its members," had "disfigured the face" of Catholicism." This statement recognized that the Catholic Church's role in the genocide has implicated the entire Church and is an invitation to reimagine the very essence of the meaning of the Church, theology in its multiple dimensions, the missionary enterprise, the mission of the Church, and the place of human dignity in the Catholic faith. The task of rethinking what it means to be the Church and restoring fraternal identity as Christians in post-genocide Rwanda is thus crucial if theology is to make sense again. This is particularly imperative in as much as theology is compelled to reflect upon the very evils that have disfigured the Church's image and people's identity, namely the evils of sin, suffering, the indifference of bystanders, the increasing number of genocide deniers, the complexity of memory, the lack of credible and prophetic leadership that invites a new way of thinking about theology. This book brings together bishops, theologians, historians, and other scholars to reflect on how the Rwandan Catholic Church can restore fundamental peace and rebuild lasting reconciliation"--
