The Sisters of Holy Cross invite your support for a Health Centre in Africa!
We, the Sisters of Holy Cross, have bought land in Songdin, Burkina Faso. We have built the wall that surrounds the 15 hectare property, and have erected three water towers. We have partnered with EMI (Engineering Ministries International) to plan and develop a compound which includes a health centre, an experimental farm, primary, secondary, post secondary and technical schools, a formation centre for women, and a residence for girls. Local topographers have been able to conduct necessary assessments for the building plans to be drawn up. We are hoping that the construction for the health centre can begin in 2022. So we have begun fundraising to finance this project.
We are thrilled that a benefactor has committed to match every donation received until December 15, 2021 for the Health Centre in Songdin, Burkina Faso to a total of $75,000!
As friends and collaborators of the Sisters of Holy Cross in this life-changing endeavour, we invite you to consider making a financial gift before December 15th, knowing that your gift will be matched and go twice as far. Donations received after that date are all welcome while donations over $50 qualify for an income tax receipt and all money donated goes to the building project.
Here is how to donate to the Songdin project: 1. Write a cheque to: Sisters of Holy Cross 2. Mail the cheque to: Sister Catherine Yampa, c.s.c. or Sister Jean Goulet, c.s.c. 1881 Lenester Ave., Ottawa, ON K2A 4G4 3. In the memo, indicate that it is for the Songdin Hospital Project 4. Include your name and your complete mailing address for the income tax receipt. 5. If possible, send an email to catherineyampa@yahoo.fr or m.j.goulet@sympatico.ca indicating that the donation will be arriving in the mail.
Thank you for your continued support and your partnership. Please share this good news with anyone you think might be interested!
