On behalf of all thosein need, I would like to say a big thank you to the Mission Fund and also to all those who kindly support them.

This fund is helping a lot of missionaries, including lay missionaries, like myself, whose only financial support are the donations which they forward to us every year.

Thanks to the generosity of many Maltese people, we can help many families who cannot afford to buy proper food for their children let alone medicine and other basic necessities.

In Bogotá, Colombia, where I have been working for these last 15 years, we come across many cases of entire families roaming the streets, begging for food and seeking shelter. These people come to the city, where they hope to find a better life, leaving everything behind them and escaping from the guerrillas.

This year, I have been forwarded the sum of €2,000, which will go in aid of these families.

God will surely reward the kindness of all those who help the Mission Fund and I encourage them to send donations.

The Mission Fund also appreciates receiving used postage stamps and used telecards at their offices in Mosta.

I can assure readers that we always remember them in our prayers and may God bless them and their families.
