The art of giving

"The art of giving lies in giving to a person something he cannot buy." Alan Alexander Milne At the beginning of February - this year I received from a good acquaintance who works well with the Benedictines from Maria Laach Abbey and also with us Sisters of Mary from Klosterberg - the information that before Easter he will again organize a relief transport to the Roma camp in Slovakia and bring the truck 7.5 tons there himself. As in the past years (I have reported about it) it is a great need for us to continue to support this project. Here in Cochem there are many people who have a big heart and bring us donations again and again. For example On her 80th birthday, a lady gave up gifts and asked for a donation for the Roma children in the Roma camp. Full of joy she gave me a nice sum. Also a resident of our house . He is very grateful that he is doing so well here and that he can spend his old age here. So I could additionally - to the "normal" donations many Easter bunnies and other sweets for "our" Roma children. In the meantime all things have arrived on site. I would love to be there when the sweets are distributed to see the shining eyes of the children. Yes I am very thankful for the help of the generous Cochem benefactors - who want to continue to support this good cause. Sister M. Felicitas
