【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2010年1月14日義大利羅馬總部訊】 ─ 慈幼世界已啟動了自身,盡快給予在星期二下午被地震所打擊的海地人民幫助。
慈幼會褔傳部門與「天主教慈善組織」“Catholic Charities”,「天主教救濟組織」“Catholic Relief Services”及「哺育兒童」“Feed the Children”合作,提供緊急的食物及健康服務。
海地內外的通訊仍然困難:「哺育兒童」組織正試圖用衛星通訊聯絡在海地各處的慈幼會院。其間,亦嘗試建立電郵通訊聯絡在當地的各慈幼傳教辦公室及非政府組織,以便組織救濟工作。 一個銀行專戶將為地震中的災民籌集善款。 戶口詳情如下: Citibank 238 North Ave. New Rochelle, NY 10801 Account Number: 9959015692 Swift Number: CITIUS33 ABA Number: 021000089
現在,仍然很難與准會省的領導人員及其他會士建立聯繫。 The Salesian world gets moving (ANS – Italy –Rome - RMG, 14 January 2010 ) – The Salesian world is already gearing itself up to respond as quickly as possible to help the people of Haiti hit by the earthquake on Tuesday afternoon. The Missions Department of the Congregation, in collaboration with the Salesian Mission Office in New Rochelle, (United States) and the “Don Bosco Network” (DBN) is busy creating a net-work to collect funds from the Provinces and from benefactors around the world. The Provinces in Spain, Venezuela and Italy are already actively engaged. The Salesian Missions are working with “Catholic Charities”, “Catholic Relief Services” and “Feed the Children” to deal with the more urgent food and health emergencies. The Missions Department is working on the idea, at a later stage, of coordinating the offers of human voluntary resources coming in from various places. Communication in and with the country is still difficult: the “Feed the Children” organisation is trying to contact the various Salesian houses in Haiti also using satellite connections. Meanwhile attempts are being made to establish a network of e-mails communications between the Salesian Mission Offices and the NGO which are in the country so as to coordinate relief efforts. From early this afternoon, Italian time, a special bank account will be open for the collection of money to help the victims of the earthquake. The details are Citibank 238 North Ave. New Rochelle, NY 10801 Account Number: 9959015692 Swift Number: CITIUS33 ABA Number: 021000089 Meanwhile more news has been coming in about the Salesians in the “Blessed Philip Rinaldi” Vice Province of Haiti: Fr Attilio Stra, Rector of the house at Port-au-Prince-Enam has been injured, Fr Simon Gatine Joseph Maceus, the creator of the “Timkatec” Project for street children in Petion-Ville, has been taken to Miami (United States) for medical treatment, although his condition is not causing too much concern. There is still no further information about the 200 + pupils in the Port-au-Prince-Enam school. It is still proving difficult the establish contact with those in charge of the Vice Province and with other Salesians. |
