MAG/09/050: Power generator and water pump for school
I’m writing on behalf of Mother Virgilia Trasatti, general Mother of the “Istituto Suore Pie Operaie” who confirmed the receipt of the 1% donation to their mission in Madascar for the purchase of one power generator to transport water from a well to the school run by the nuns and to the building where young girls of the village carry out various activities. She thanks the group for the financial support and since she’s traveling to Madacascar in May she hope to send photos of the mission very soon.
