The Ghana Mission Foundation hosted its first Friends of HopeXchange get-together at Dar Qalb ta’ Ġesù, Santa Venera. The event started off with Mass celebrated by Clinton Farrugia, followed by an audiovisual presentation.
Friends of HopeXchange is an initiative started two years ago.
Project founder Mario Cappello spoke about the 80-bedded hospital project being built in Ghana, saying that it was special on two levels: medical organisations worldwide were pooling their resources and expertise to build up a health centre in this Sub-Saharan area of Africa; and the local people involved in the project would be running the centre.
