Sr. M. Mathilde writes from Santa Maria, Brazil:
Christmas is approaching, and we feel compelled to say THANK YOU to all of you for everything you have given us this year: your donations and prayers. This has enabled us to help many people as best we could.
Many families are still suffering from the effects of last year’s major floods.
Although the pandemic is already two years behind us, most children are affected because they have missed two school years and are therefore far behind in their learning. This is particularly noticeable in the social projects „Sun Corner“ (CEFASOL) and “Marian garden”.
The younger children, who have missed the first and second school years, lack perseverance when it comes to learning and catching up.
Our educators are working very hard and are very dedicated to providing extra tuition for schoolwork, as the children have neither the opportunity nor the peace and quiet to do this at home.
Meals are important for all the children at „Sun Corner“. Yes, they look forward to breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack time. Most of the children do not have these meals at home, and they especially lack a daily hot meal. We also help the families with monthly food packages.
We help because we believe. Help with us!
As the mission center of the Schoenstatt Sisters of Mary, we support many projects of our community in every continent. Our sisters in the local areas have close and direct contact with the people. With your help, we can make an even greater difference than we have been able to in the past. Concrete, transparent, loving.
