Opening of “ADH Agro-Veterinary School of Mabala” – To the First School Year In March, Wolfgang met in Congo with members of our local ADH Congo and the BBK association as well as with our manager Jean to plan and organize the construction of our new school – the “ADH Agro-Veterinary School of Mabala”.

There is still quite a bit of work in finishing up different construction work for the School and Health Center and setting…
