Nets Distribution

Outreach at Ronas Gardens, Manila

25 November 2019 Posted by News 0 thoughts on “Outreach at Ronas Gardens, Manila”

Today we distributed over 200 mosquito nets to families at Ronas Gardens a depressed area (slum) within the parish where we have our Formation House.

The 200-odd families were very happy and were all smiles on receiving the large nets which were donated by friends.

The proper organisation of all the families and the distribution of the mosquito nets was made possible with the help of Ma’am Yeng, who is the “Secretary” of Ronas Gardens settlement.

Bringing A Smile And Joy

29 May 2019 Posted by News 0 thoughts on “Bringing A Smile And Joy”

When life is so low and down, it is difficult to be thankful for anything. So it was for Mr. Alemayehu when his wife and two of his children passed away. Alamayehu was left with only one son. He himself suffered from severe elephantiasis. Alamayehu lost all hope of living and all he sought was to be in a place where he could rest in peace.

While working at his “kebele” or village, MCSPA members were informed of Alamayehu’s case. We immediately took him to Aman Hospital where he was diagnosed with a malignant tumor in his left leg. The doctors advised that his leg be amputated. Alamayehu did not hesitate: he chose amputation because he wanted the pain to be taken away and to smile again.
 
After the surgery, we visited him at the hospital everyday. The smile on his face revealed the deep joy in his heart. Alamayehu’s gratitude only proved that it is not how much one gives, rather how much love is put into that giving that matters.

Alamayehu has since returned to his “kebele” in Bench Maji Zone. He is very grateful for being able to return home free of physical pain. He is conscious of the many graces that God has given him, the most important of which is that he is able to be with his only surviving son.

We thank all those who supported Mr. Alamayehu, for a helping hand is a great gift that brings a smile and joy to others.
