Sr Terenzia Maniscalco, Marikina City, The Philippines

I would like to thank the Mission Fund for the financial aid to our community, the Carmelite Missionary Sisters of St Theresa of the Child Jesus.

We are really grateful for the donation that enables us to help children deprived of their basic needs here at Quezon city, in The Philippines.

The Fund enabled us to provide several families with children recovering in our oratory with a supply of rice (the basic food of The Philippines) and canned foods to meet some basic nutritional needs.

We thank the donors for helping us in our mission to help the poorest and vulnerable through their generosity and solidarity and we wish to thank them on behalf of these persons.

We promise to keep them always in our prayers so that the Good Lord will bless them and keep them ever close to His Most Sacred Heart.

Merry Christmas.

I would like to thank the Mission Fund for sending me €1,200 as a contribution to subsidise biblical and religious literature in Santali. I am presently engaged in printing such material in Santali, the language of Santals, the largest tribe in India. Printing nowadays is very costly and unless subsidised, our poor Santals in north east India would not be able to afford to buy the material. So we have to subsidise them.

The amount will be used towards books made available to our Christian community at an affordable price.

I encourage the Maltese people to send used stamps, telecards and any other contribution to Mission Fund so that they may continue to help Maltese missionaries all over the world in their various apostolates.
