It been almost a year since I have posted anything here. Mainly its because the plans we have are now slightly larger and slightly harder to implement.
I am reminded that 'With God Nothing is Impossible!' thus we will embark on fulfilling the following needs that God has put placed in our way.
1) Cambodia - Microcredit loans to women
To assist them with funds to set up their own small businesses. This will enable families to rise out of extreme hardship and poverty. If these women have a skill or the will to make a better life for themselves and their families, they deserve an opportunity to try.
2) Ukraine - A land of blood and saints
A) To set up a medical centre for the poor at Vinnitsa
Here we have a situation where more than half the solution has been solved already.
The Canossian mission in Ukraine for purpose of helping the poor has built, set up and obtained a licence to operate a 22 room medical facility in Vinnitsa.
They have currently 3 doctors but they are unable to launch this medical mission because they lack funds for laboratory assistants to analyse blood tests, medical technicians to operate the ultra sound machine, some equipments and a dentist.
Re: Equipments still needed:
- Dentist chair
- Echo machine
- X-ray machine
Those who feel called to help in contributing funds or have friends who can donate 1st or 2nd hand equipment pls contact me.
It would also be great if a network of doctors can assist in set up or provide associate help to this medical centre in any way to enable the centre to function to its highest ability and reach out and assist as many people as it can.
B) Setting up a Social Centre in a poor village in Ukraine - A dream of a priest for his people
Its hard to imagine but Ukraine's temperature goes down to minus 25-30 degrees. I was there last week and it was only minus 5-10 degrees and I was freezing. It's like living in a freezer!
Ukraine has suffered 2 world wars, 2 man-made famines ( extreme persecution and genocide) and 70 years of harsh communist rule all within the last century. We will never understand the pain and suffering of the people. What I know is that they need a break!
They have been independent for 15 years, the poverty there is also extreme and harsh especially in the depth of winter. People need money for coal to warm their homes, to eat, to educate. It is a place where your legs can freeze and have to be amputated if you don't move in extremely cold.
Again here, we believe education is the 'hope'. The priest in this poor village has a dream to provide the poor with sewing and baking skills to help lift his parisioners out of poverty for those who try.
We want to help him raise funds here to build or rent this small social centre, where people can come not only to learn new skills but also for the young and old to gather and a place where the nuns can minister to the poor.
So I ask you friends to join me to help make the lives of those who have little or nothing a little better. If you feel called to help please do.
God can only put love in our hearts but we have to act on this love so that it can grow and glorify him.Pls do share this needs with people you know . Perhaps we can together make this a wonderful and meaningful Christmas for many.
With God all things are possible through him and through all those who love him :)
God Bless,
