The Sisters in the Philippines would like to thank all who are praying for them and our Schoenstatt Family in the Philippines in this time of natural disaster. They are also very grateful for the financial support.
By the middle of January electricity was restored which was a great help. However, we have moved into February and phone and internet services are still lacking. This is making communication extremely difficult.
While insurance will cover some of the repairs needed, there is still a huge shortfall. An estimated $60,000 is required for repairs to the Spirituality Center and Shrine. This does not include the grounds, the streetlights on the property, the perimeter fence which was badly damaged in a couple of places and is necessary for the security of the Center as well as the help given to the families of our sisters’ and members of the movement who have suffered significant damage. Fresh water and food packages belong to the help offered, especially to neighbours and members of the surrounding parishes.
The photos show the ‘before’ and ‘after’ of the house of one of our sisters. Her family is very grateful for the support they received which has enabled them to at least restore the roof to their house.
Thank you to all who have helped. So far $7,600 has been raised. Any further assistance is greatly appreciated.
