The Bons Sinais Association is preparing to
restore the roof of the Quelimane Cathedral, in the central Mozambican province
of Zambezia. The funds for the roof, which needs major work, will be provided
by the Norwegian embassy.
According to a report on Radio Mozambique,
the work will commence after the rainy season ends in March. The president of
the association, Antonio Barros, explained that the Norwegian embassy will
provide 250,000 meticais (about 65,000 US dollars). Since the association began
the restoration of the cathedral, which lies on the bank of the Bons Sinais
River, it has raised about a million dollars for the work.
On Friday, the Bons Sinais Association held
a meeting in Quelimane to publicise its activities last year and its plans for 2019.
The meeting was addressed by the provincial governor, Abdul Razak, who
encouraged the group to continue with its efforts.
The Cathedral was built between 1776 and
1786. However, it is currently abandoned and in a severely degraded state. As
well as installing a new roof, construction work is needed to repair and
re-plaster the walls. In addition, the doors need replacing and electricity
will be installed.After the Cathedral is rejuvenated it will be used for local
activities to promote national culture. Help recovery by clicking onhttps://bonssinais.org/patrimonio/
