Description :
The Covedec centre, in Goma, run by Pastor Patrick Senzoga, opened its doors in late October 2008 to the scores of children who had become separated from their parents during the fighting and were now wandering on the streets, hungry and scared. The eldest child would take charge of the small ones.
