The Boguila Grace Brethren Church is located in one of the most dangerous regions in the Central African Republic.  These brothers and sisters have suffered the loss of homes, possessions, and family members to continuing skirmishes between troops loyal to the president and rebel factions.  To further destabilize the situation are bandits.

All these factors combine to produce a lot of orphans, and the Grace Brethren Church of Boguila has been doing its best to meet needs.  This is the second year that the Wichita GBC (Kansas, USA) is partnering with the Boguila GBC in blessing 50 orphans from the Boguila community.  Teacher Laurentine opened her second level school on October 5th, 2009, and the children have been educated and fed a meal every weekday since then.
