【慈幼通訊社 2010114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。

總部的褔傳部門正與美國東部會省慈幼褔傳辦公室及鮑思高網絡“Don Bosco Network”(DBN)合作,忙於設立一個網絡募集從各會省及世界各地的捐獻者而來的捐款。西班牙,委內瑞拉及意大利的各會省也正為此事籌謀。

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。

慈幼褔傳部門的工作信念是:在下一階段,組織各地的人道及志願資源所提供的援助。

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

其間,從海地真福李納德准會省傳來了更多慈幼會士的消息。太子港Enam 會院的院長,Attilio Stra 神父受了傷。“Timkatec 一個為Petion-Ville街童而設的計劃的創設者Simon Maceus 神父被送往美國邁阿密接受治療,情況並不太壞。至於在太子港Enam 學校的超過200名學生,目前仍無進一步消息。

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

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.
