Salesian Sisters – City of Hope

Volunteers help to wash up after feast day celebrations

Salesians have a lot to celebrate in the month of May. The thirteenth was the feast day of Saint Mary Mazzarello, the founder of the Salesian Sisters, and May twenty-fourth is the feast day of Mary Help of Christians.

More pictures to come!

With two experts on site, the new school building is progressing rapidly. The suppliers can hardly keep up with the delivering of materials!

Please join us in praying for our donors—if we receive the funds, we could have the whole building completed for the end of the year.

Reminders of why this school building is so important to us:

• It will allow for 400 more children to attend school (up to 1,200 children)
• It will be another CoH project recognized by the state, resulting in regular grant-aided funding, better qualified teachers,  and an overall higher standard of education
• It will help CoH become more self-sufficient with less reliance on outside donors

Thank you again to everyone supporting this major project!

Special thanks to Karol Siwek, a photography student at Anglia Ruskin University Cambridge, who visited Lusaka and the City of Hope for a few days for a photography project.  Over the course of four days, he managed to take 1,098 photos! He’s already placed a few on his website, www.karolsiwek.digartfolio.pl, but more are to come.
