Mwapongo will assume the role for a 30-day period, pending the appointment of a permanent replacement. Ambali was praised for his leadership, guidance, and mentorship, which had a profound impact on his colleagues.
The event highlighted the significance of love in community development, with Mwapongo citing the example of God's love for humanity. He emphasized that love is essential for bringing about positive change and transformation in communities.

The celebration was attended by various stakeholders, including children, who are considered key actors in development. The event provided an opportunity for Vision Mondiale to engage with local leaders, partners, and staff, reaffirming its commitment to community development in Kwango.
Eddy Ambali, the outgoing coordinator, was remembered for his exceptional leadership and spiritual guidance. His departure has left a significant void, and he will be deeply missed by his colleagues.
