Mgr. Cipriano Khianghire decided to dress in on de / woman to affirm it in Ugandan society and the CMM touched to create the place where this education was imparted, Make school, brick by brick to build a wall that separates but not de / imitate the place it / as boys and girls become men and women studying, learning a profession, loving the study, which in some cases leads them to Makerere University in Kampala. I read in the first desire expressed by Msgr. Cipriano and confirmed by other bishops in Gulu) ui succeeded, our major references, a great attention to the value of the person and the desire to make it able to see, judge and act to help build its future in Northern Uganda.
Thus the history of the Center Missionary Magentino in Gulu begins with the Santa Monica Tailoring School and continues with the Angel Negri College. Two Secondary Schools, a female and a male, for about 200 students each. A crumb in a district that has more or less 468,407 people in a nation that has about 25,000,000.
I like a lot the idea of this friendship between Gulu and Magenta on educational needs, which dall'81 today by magentina feels to have a site opened in Gulu, and by Ugandan prepares teams of builders and hosting volunteers, to build together. Despite a history of suffering of the people Acioli that 18 years coexists with a vicious civil war that has resulted in 100,000 victims, 20,000 children abducted and enrolled in row dell'LRA the Lords Resistance Army.In this context of strong sociopolitical instability work of the Center is to have stopped, accelerated or changed. Never suspended. The thread between Magenta Gulu and has never stopped.
Now walls constructed next to the CMM does another project: to let people know what's happening a few kilometers from where we work. The goal is only one: to inform. Informing on a situation that has not yet found adequate space in the media. Informing on a situation that is making our friends suffer Acioli.
The Acioli we known thanks to friendship between the original Dr. Leone, Don Bruno Pegoraro and Mons. Cipriano. Their story is dramatic and intriguing at the same time.
"The Acioli they welcomed us, and helped with their's" complicity "in the sense that we can stay here for so long and have still want to stay because certainly feel that the draft that he had passed over us for this land and secondly because we found people here who are near and helps us to understand the situations that happen to us. - P says Paul Ottolini, rector of Layibi College and in Northern Uganda for several decades one of the missionaries that we have the CMM as a reference. The Acioli are peaceful only if they are in power but I think this is not their prerogative. I think today Acioli are effectively marginalized and will be tomorrow, if continue this way. The Acioli know that they have a political and moral responsibility towards their people first, and then whole of Uganda. So I think the future of international volunteer organizations is to work on the person to make conscious of the enormous responsibility that each person has to find a peaceful future for their children ".Of Acioli current President Museveni of Uganda said that "The only Acioli of which you can trust is a dead Acioli. Of Museveni instead says that the President is that Uganda has been able to raise the economic situation and health of Uganda, the only thorn in his side: Northern Uganda. Museveni since the beginning of his mandate to now has failed (or has not wanted) quell the guerrillas.
It is starting from the history of Acioli, that everyone will pull its conclusions on these statements
