Dear brothers,
I would like to inform you that the pace of erection of the Orphanage in Antananarivo is slow due to the economic crisis which is afflicting Madagascar as well. As you can see in the photo, the building is quite big therefore a lot of money and time is required for its completion. Almost 60% of the work has been covered.
Finding the necessary funds is not easy at all, because, as you know, the revenues of the Mission have decreased significantly, which makes it very difficult to continue. For the completion and operation of the first floor, another 200,000€ is required. The construction of the other floors has been indefinitelypostponed.
I would like to thank you and plead with you to contribute financially to this work; I hope there will be some noble donor who could offer a considerable amount of money so that this work is completed. The donation which was sent to us by an anonymous lady from Thessalonica has already been used for building a wing, which will be named after her husband.
We hope that by the grace of God we will soon be able to operate our orphanage so that we can accommodate more than 200 orphans and exposed infants, who have grown up and need their own space.
With love in Christ
† Ignatios of Madagascar
