To The "Futuro e Speranza" and "Mindful Smiles" Associations

Dear Friends,

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

It is with great joy that I write these words to thank you for all your material and spiritual sacrifices which have made miracles in our children’s Village. With your donation, you have provided food, accommodation, education, clothes, and medical care to 1,000 boys and girls in St. Francis Children’s Village (459 boys), St. Clara Centre (374 girls), and in the Casa della Speranza Santa Filomena, St. Philomena’s House of Hope (168 boys and girls born with HIV).

Thank you for your Love which allows us to give these children a chance to live a better life in the future. Their life is peaceful and it is based on four pillars: PRAYER, STUDY, SPORT, and WORK, and our motto is “SIMPLE LIFE, DEEP THOUGHTS”.

With your help, we are completing self-sufficiency projects through crop cultivation and breeding of chickens, pigs, catfish, and tilapia. We have also been able to complete the centre for the insemination of catfish and we are working on another one for production of feed for fish, chickens, and pigs. All our production is organic.

We hope and pray to see the start of small industries that will give work to our children. We are now able to teach the boys and girls about fish farming, agriculture, tailoring, and construction work for the boys.

All this has been possible because you accepted to walk with us!

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS, IN FAITH, LOVE, AND PRAYERS,

FATHER FRANCIS LIMO RIWA
