Nuevo Amanecer, the champions, celebrate their victory together.
Nuevo Amanecer
We have recently committed ourselves to assisting the Children´s Kitchen of Nuevo Amanecer, a community that exists on the high hills that surround Motupe and Montenegro. These hills are home to our poorest families. Recently, with the help of THE DIOCESE OF BALLARAT, we were also able to assist with a water project, a project that has had a huge impact upon this struggling community. The following photos show a Sunday morning working bee. Everyone - men, women and children are involved in these community activities.
Work on the site of the second tank at Nuevo Amanacer. Water will be pumped up to here, and from this tank will then be piped down to the simple households below, including the Children´s Kitchen. This will save women descending and ascending a difficult path each day to get water in plastic containers from down below for household needs.
Community Outreach Centre
Work underway on the second stage of our recently completed Parish Community Outreach Centre at Motupe. Stage one was the completion of the Kitchen for children suffering malnutrition which was financed last year through the MISSIONARY SOCIETY OF ST. COLUMBAN. The Kitchen is run through the contributions of our friends of The Shared Table. The second stage will offer the services of our Parish Social Worker, Lucia Cuentas, plus Health Orientation, a Psychologist, and free Legal Advise. This construction has been completed with the assistance of the CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF BALLARAT, Australia, and a contribution made through PFD FOOD SERVICES PTY LTD, Australia. The third and final stage will be the second story, consisting of a series of multi purpose rooms offering workshops and programs for women, unemployed youth and single and adolescent mothers.
