ITALIAN VISITORS VISIT ST. CLARE

Helicopter arrival

During December 2016, St. Clare Centre for Girls welcomed visitors from Italy.  They arrived in a helicopter, delighting the girls and Father Riwa both. 

St. Clare Girls Greet the Italian visitors

These visitors brought the girls the green shirts they are wearing.  (The message on the shirt, “Io Ci Sono” means “I am here.”)

Wearing the new green shirts, the Italians and girls sing.

They also donated some books and visited Homes of Hope, Father Riwa’s home for children suffering from HIV/AIDS.

Visiting Home for Home

These visitors stayed at St. Clare for the Christmas meal and celebration, which was served before the girls went back to their home villages for Christmas break.  Everyone enjoyed time with St. Clare’s Italian friends!!!
