TO THE POOR FAMILIES IN CAMBODIA AND MYANMAR
FMA IN SYNERGY WITH CHARIS TO
REACH OUT TO THE POOR FAMILIES IN CAMBODIA AND MYANMAR
(2nd Wave of
Distribution)
The month of May
was quite a busy one for the Sisters of Cambodia and Myanmar who putting on
their aprons eagerly and joyfully prepared the food supplies to be distributed
to 1900 families (900 in Myanmar and 1000 in Cambodia).
The second wave
of distribution of food provisions to the families economically affected by the
COVID 19 pandemic in Cambodia and Myanmar was made possible through the aid of
Caritas Humanitarian Aid and Relief Initiatives, Singapore (CHARIS). The funds
received from CHARIS provided each recipient the basic food essentials composed
of: 25 kilos of rice, 10 canned goods, 15 packs of noodles, l liter cooking oil
and 6 bottles of fish sauce.
The Salesian Sisters
were in full synergy with CHARIS to be their extension in providing these
families the basic food essentials. Some recipients came to the Sisters’ school
to receive their food supplies which could last for about three weeks while
others have to be visited in their respective places. Taking the risk with
courage and great trust that they are under the protection of Mary, Help in
this difficult times, the Sisters took the daunting task of going and reaching
out to the families where a majority of them are found in great need of food
provisions. Truly, their presence made hope a reality for these families who
are at the point of hopelessness.
