Thanks to efforts of Mr. Chris Sadowski, the chief of Medical Mission of Australia, once again we have received the finicial support for our activities. This time, for gained funds we repaired our minibus, which was standing immobile for a few weeks and was waiting for benevolent donors. Since January 6th , i.e. from Holidays of the Epiphany, we are motorized and on the wheels again. We thank God for this help, knowing that we can always count on our friends from Australia. Above all minibus Trafic Renault serves us for foreign missions and mostly we use it during our departures to Belarus and Ukraine, where Arrupe Center together with Educational Clinic are reaching with a formational help to teachers that work at schools and educators that are working with the addicted people.
