When forwaring the money from the table quiz to the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart P.O. Box 23 Cork we asked them to let us know where the money was going to be used. Father Michael O Connell wrote back to say the 246 plus Euros will be used to support projects in South Africa for families affected by the AIDS epedemic. Some shocking facts on an attachment. One that struck home was when a group of children were asked by a teacher to draw on paper where they saw themselves in 20 years time. Over 90% of them drew a tombstone.... they expected to be dead from AIDS.
20 EURO will care for an orphan for one month. Have you a group that can organize a benefit night for them soon ???
