Since the last update on 5 February the three other African provincials have returned safely to their provinces. 

Rather than leaving the country after the evacuation of the other RSCJs from N'Djamena, Asunta Clausen and Juliette N'guémta were able to return to the community building that is on the campus of the secondary school. They immediately began to have meetings with representatives of the teachers, parents, etc. to see how to proceed. The most urgent task was to see to the removal of unexploded missiles from the property and assure the safety of the classrooms still standing.

Today, 25 February, classes began for the two highest classes who are preparing for state examinations. The other classes will resume as soon as possible. Asunta and Juliette are having a week of rest in the other two communities further south.

Our sisters of both Chad and Uganda-Kenya are immensely grateful to the Society throughout the world for the support and prayer they have felt these past weeks. Please continue praying for the political situation of Chad which is not yet resolved, as well as for Kenya whose difficult peace process is well documented in the press.
