As usual, the Maltese people have shown great generosity to us missionaries who work in different countries in the field of the Lord. After having helped our mission in India and Romania for many years, Mission Fund has followed me to Ethiopia with its annual donation of €1200 even this year.

“The poor will always be with you,” the Lord said and this absolutely true in a country like Ethiopia where misery follows misery. The homeless, lepers, street children, the uneducated, the sick, the unemployed, the Aids victims surround us and every penny given to these causes is like a drop of water lost in an ocean of needs.

As I take this opportunity to thank you for your support to the people who staff Mission Fund and who direct your donations to us, I also would like to remind you that the following accounts are open for donations to Mission Fund:

HSBC (Account No: 061 197 448 050); BOV (Account No: 163 007 980 19); APS (Account No: 200 008 207 62) or BANIF (Account No. 000 879 631 01).

More information can be found in the Mission Fund website: www.missionfund.org.mt

We, as a community of the Sisters of St Joseph of the Apparition here in Ethiopia, promise to pray for each of our benefactors living and dead.

Thank you once again.
