European Project,
Amani :
The AMANI project, with headquarters in the rue des
Noyers, Brussels, a few hundred metres from the Provincial House, is one
of 5 missionary projects supported by the Society.
Four confreres are at work there: Karel Stuer, Philippe De Vestele, Damien
Watine, Andrew Anab. Karel has taken on the management of a project until
December, then he will withdraw. Damien will succeed him. The community
has left the house at 114 rue Ch. Degroux (which will become the headquarters
of the European Province) and set up home at Boulevard Clovis, one kilometre
from the Centre Amani.
The Centre Amani seeks to offer services to the African population resident
in Brussels. It is a project that depends on the Vicariate for peoples of
foreign origin in the diocese of Malines-Brussels.

"AFRICANA" Magazine: With "AFRICANA"
Magazine, we aim to make the Peoples of Africa known to the general public,
their history and their culture, as well as to awaken interest and concern
for people who have serious problems of injustices in the world today, especially
those that affect Africa.
Welcome and advocacy for immigrants: Normally, we work together
with several organisations and institutions operating in Spain (KARIBU,
ACOGE, AMIGOS DE ÁFRICA). In addition, the Province has a community
in the diocese of Algeria with a dual purpose: religious mentoring for Christian
immigrants; welcome and advocacy for immigrants in general, so as to help
them integrate into their new surroundings.
Interreligious Dialogue: "DAREK-NYUMBA": In the same line
as 'Encounter and Dialogue', but at a specific level ; the Province relies
on the Centre "DAREK-NYUMBA", founded by Fr. P. E. Galindo, to
aim in a special way to promote Islamo-Christian understanding, encounter
and dialogue.
"FUNDACIÓN SUR": We work together with "FUNDACIÓN
SUR", (currently integrated by the Missionaries of Africa, Manos Unidas
and Caritas Spain), an organisation created in the 70s by the Missionaries
of Africa under the name of CIDAF (Centre d'Information de Documentation
Africaine) [African Information and Documentation Centre], whose aim is
to provide a good library for the use of those who wish, and other means
of information, especially on Africa, its peoples, its history and culture.
The Centre also publishes a news bulletin entitled "AFRICANA-NOTICIAS".
Missionary promotion and "ARTE AFRICANO": The Province
continues its traditional vocation and missionary promotion activity in
its own way and in working together with other Missionary Institutes and
Congregations, coordinated in an organisation entitled SCAM, which works
with the Bishops' Commission on Missions and OPM.
