Dear Sr. Maria Fabiola and Sisters,
Fr. Don Moore, a member of our team who goes to
help in Gaza
gave us a check from all of you for this generous sum of $3.500. I don't know
how to thank you properly for it. Yet know that it is especially appreciated at
this time in this critical post war situation. It will be used for some of the
poorest families who have lost either family members, their homes and for some
both.
We have been there to visit now twice this
month. The first time it was only a few days after the end of the fighting. It
was very humbling to stand and to listen to the stories of each family we
visited. When we visited the nursery schools we saw the faces of the children
many of whom have suffered the traumas of the shelling sometimes for twenty
hours straight from land, air and sea.
We help give children breakfast in five schools
of children ages 3 to 5. There are about 90 to 130 children in each school. For
many it is their only full meal each day. Most families have a diet of only
bread and tea.
May I suggest that you open and view our web
site with its reports of our work there and with most revealing photos. It is www.daughterfofcharity-gaza.blogspot.com
Again on behalf of our team going to Gaza we thank you for
sharing in our ministry to the poorest there. May the Lord in His turn, bless
you each abundantly.
