Excerpt from a letter from Mukonchi

One of the latest emails that we received with updates about Mukonchi, Zambia. The correspondence isn't steady since it's a bit of a trek from the Mission to the nearest town to get to internet access. But I will translate (from Polish) and post any updates we receive:


Mrs. Alicja,
I think a lot of time has passed not only since I last emailed you, but also since we met in Kielce (Poland).... I'm really happy that I had a chance to meet you and Andrzej. I am very greatful for all your help.... I think I mentioned (in a previous letter) that I used some of the money to purchase a couple dozen pairs of shoes for the childern from the pre-school, school uniforms, paid for school exam fees, and a part of the money went to pay the pre-shool staff and the instructors for sewing and carpentry (at the Youth Training Centre). From the previous money I recieved I bought 40 blankets for those (children) in most need of them ..., not to mention the financing in many instances of transportation costs and medical care for a large group of people. ...Again I want to extend my thanks to you for all your help for the Mukonchi mission. fr. Grzegorz
