I am a Maltese missionary working in Pakistan. Our ministry is mainly in the fields of education, health and social work. We visit families as often as possible to strengthen the people in their Christian faith, we help children with their homework and we try to promote the woman, who in this country is still considered a second-class citizen. Our work is just a drop in an ocean of needs. The greatest wound is illiteracy. As we believe that education will save the human person, we try to invest most of the donations we receive by offering education to as many children as we can in the hope of opening new horizons for their future. We know that we can’t help everyone but we do as much as we can.

I would like to thank the Mission Fund for its untiring work in fund-raising activities in order to be able to help all Maltese missionaries. I would like to thank them sincerely for the donation of US$1,910 they have given me this year. I would also like to express my gratitude to you all, who always respond generously whenever you are called to contribute to any project of charity. We might be the ones who are working directly in the field but without your help, we truly can do very little. I encourage you to continue to offer your donations and to send used stamps to the Mission Fund and to help in any other possible way. You can make your donations online or by direct bank transfer to one of the following accounts: 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.

May the Lord, who rewards every glass of water given to the needy, fill your heart and your household with all the blessings you need. You are all in our daily prayers.
