Farewell, the Beloved Country
Jun. 17, 2026
*FB - Food Bank Collection Greta Du Bois Cleynhens
Reading from her recently published book "Farewell, the Beloved Country"
This is the story of my childhood and teenage years in central Africa, from 1951 to 1962. I recall my life in the colony of Belgian Congo, the discovery of the bush, the people, and their culture. Important also is the prison we live next to, where my father is the warden. Patrice Lumumba was a noteworthy prisoner. Life changed drastically at the independence of the Belgian Congo in June 1960. The province of Katanga, where we lived, seceded from the rest of Congo and proclaimed itself the independent State of Katanga. The United Nations arrived and took military action. Despite it all, life went on in a new "normal" way. I lived through school interruptions and wondered if I would be able to graduate. Friendships held us together, romances blossomed and exams loomed. The country where I grew up and intended to spend my adulthood became even more dear to me. However, I had to say kwaheri, a heartbroken farewell, to the country and its people.

Tourism Kingston has offered the Beverage Garden at their upcoming FIFA event in Springer Market Square to us. The event is Saturday June 27th from 1:30-9:30PM.
We would take all the proceeds from the sales of different Michelob products.
For clubs interested in participating, the plan is to take our total money raised and divide it by the number of volunteer spots, like we do for the Fall Fair and split the money that way.
We need door people, to allow people in and out and check id. People to sell drink tickets and SMART SERVED bartenders. Table cleaners, and runners.
