You remembered…
Isn’t it a wonderful thing when someone remembers something special about you? A book you like, a special occasion, your favourite things…
Our founder, Sr Ethel, was known to remember the little details about thousands (I am not exaggerating!), thousands, of people! She used to say “the little things are the big things!” And if she did something kind for you and you said something like “that wasn’t necessary”, she would gently squeeze your arm and say “life would be very boring if we all only did what is necessary!”
You – our faithful supporters are doing more than what is necessary. You remember and support and encourage us. You are touching lives with every contribution! In these times, that is a very, very big deal because we would be completely lost without it.
One of our most frequently asked questions is: “How do you cope, and keep going, with all you are confronted with on a daily basis?”
The answer, in brief, is people.
It is the individuals who overcome all odds that inspire us.
It is the broad smiles of the children that stirs something in your heart.
It is the warmth and welcome from the Missionvale community that is impossible to beat.
It is the visitors who want to see the reality of the majority of our country’s people.
It is the staff who serve tirelessly and enthusiastically.
It is the volunteers who become part of our family.
It is people like you who remember us.
YOU are the ones who keep us going through your wonderful contributions. Thank you for remembering people who may live far from you, but who also remember you in their daily thanksgiving as food reach their homes and families.
Your generosity means everything to us and the community we serve.
