Zambia lack information on the electoral process. They are always cheated and fed with wrong
information by the Party cadres especially from the ruling party.
The people usually believe this information because they are

the case, the life of each individual, community or a nation
begins in a very small way.

a congregation that began small in 1816 and today is present in

The life we share with Fr. Ron Walker, OMI: Living a life of poverty and self denial is
not one that is preferred by the world today. People wake up and
work harder every day to enrich their lives and that of their

hard? Why did he (Fr. Walker) make the decision to join
priesthood? more...
