Our Local Partner in Xai-Xai Sister Beta is working tirelessly
supporting the displaced population that came to this higher and dry area. They
are distributing meals to the children who also study at the school. The school
is also sheltering 10 families who lost their homes and are in housed in temporary
accommodation. In addition, the Dominican Sisters at the school are storing the
few personal belongings from the displaced families so these are protected from
the waters or from being stolen.
In the Escolinha do Andre school, just outside Xai-Xai,
our sister charity UPG Portugal directly sponsors 250 children. Today we are sending
more funds to the Xai-Xai area. This town is officially geminated with the local council
of Cascais, in Portugal, that has also generously contributed to our Emergency Fund this
week.
