Thank You from Cameroun
Once again I wish to thank you very much indeed.Thanks to you we can continue to minister to the children in our schools. Only yesterday I spoke to Sister Noreen on the phone in Fundong and she referred to the well which you were instrumental in providing.They have had a very hot spell over the last few months resulting in huge water shortages but thanks to the well there was an available and plentiful supply for the school community.
May I wish you and your families all the blessings of the Easter Season with my heartfelt gratitude and that of all of our sisters in Cameroon. Sister Alice KilBride, Infant Jesus Sisters
