For us in Pro Labore Dei, this year is to be a year of 'PRAISE, THANKSGIVING AND ACHIEVEMENTS' - indivdually, Pro Labore Dei Branch, and Pro Labore Dei as a whole. Good Luck.

In addition to branches started last year we are now in Uganda - we have started a grassroot school for slum kids as well as feeding programme.

YEAR OF MISSION NEWSLETTER

Pro Labore Dei has been able to set up various projects in different countries starting from January 2010 through to December 2010.

I did not physically go to some countries such as Canada, Republic of Benin, Togo, Cameroon, Kenya, Zambia and Mexico but I have been in a privilege position to share in most of the missionaries’ journey via modern technologies. – I have shared all their lows and highs and what a privilege. For the countries I went to start off, someone else has gone to move the work forward where there are no indigenes or paid workers to do so.

The year of mission has been rounded up with mission to the Philippines where we are setting up a feeding programme as well as looking at other viable projects. No picture to show you yet but following is an extract of email I received from the missionary in Philippines – we can but help these children.

“I stopped to talk and touch one small boy and I was shocked at how his little arms felt like a chicken drumstick bone after the meat has been eaten off it”.
