Alim is a 12-year-old orphan! His father died while he was still a kid and because his mother wanted to remarry, she abandoned him. He was taken up by a stranger who has catered for him ever since.
He has been doing well in school but had to stay home for the first part of the year because his adoptive “mother” could not pay his fees.
Through your gifts, Mount Carmel is able to support him so he gets back to school and gets a future. He is enjoying school again and is very grateful for the help being offered him.
SHOE DONATION IN QUEREATRO, MEXICO
We are also very thankfull for your support with the shoe proyect in Queretaro, Mexico. This past december, we gave away 99 pair of shoes to street children, joung people and adults.
Dear Mount Carmel friends:
First of all we want to thank you for your collaboration with the construction of the dining room for the Wichi community in Argentinia. With your support we could buy a lot of material and we could conclude the construction. The people were very thankful and happy to know that some people from very far away were interested in them. We will attach some pictures at the end of the letter.
Regarding other projects, thanks to the fact of our team being in three different continents (Jacques and Julia in Cameroon, Africa, Juan and Marta in Mexico, and Jonas and his wife in Germany) we have the opportunity to serve several countries at the same time.
Our next project will be in Mexico. Juan’s brother along with his wife work with street kids. They are a group of around 100 people. We want to give them each a pair of shoes at the end of the month.
On the other hand, there are some possible projects to do in Cameroon which we are analyzing. As soon as we agree on the next one, we will let you know.
Last but not least we want to mention some people to whom we are very grateful: Dio and Helen Ajah have been great friends and a big support for our team for a long time now. But especially now we are happy to have them supporting Jonas and his wife.
We also want to thank Anabelle, who has been helping us translate our articles into French. Now we leave you with some pictures of our last project in Argentina.
With best regards,
your Mount- Carmel team.
