Fr. Paul Uria, Tansania
Dear Dr. Hubert Fischer,
I wish to thank you very much for your message of March 17, 2011. I trust that you are keeping well and happy. I take this opportunity to wish you also a very fruitful Lenten Season. God bless you abundantly and fill you with much joy and peace throughout this Lent.
Many thanks for passing on to me the letter from Frank Ingendae. I have accepted his idea of maintaining personal contacts with our School through establishing correspondence between students from your School and adolescents from your parish. I have taken up this idea and we shall work on it. Our School has pupils ranging from 13 to 18. They do not know German and therefore the correspondence would be held in English.
In the next week I shall be writing to Frank using the address you have given to me. I wish God's blessings and continuous good health.
Kindest regards and prayers,
Fr. Paul Uria
Fr. Paul Uria, Tansania
Dear Hubert Fischer,
How are you? Subsequent to my last message to you, just after sending it, I received a picture of one of the pupils being sponsored by your Parish. The teacher was late to bring it in. I am still waiting for the pictures of the other two.
All their fees for last year have been fully paid. As soon as get details of their academic performance and invoices for the first term of this year, I shall get in touch with you.
Again thank you very much for your kindness which has enabled the children to be in school and receive education. God bless you and all the good people who have made it possible for the support of the children.
With prayerful best wishes,
Fr. Paul Uria"
Pastoralreferent Frank Ingendae hat die Initiative ergriffen, eine Briefpatenschaft zwischen Schülern aus Tansania und Schülern hier zu begründen. Jetzt berichtet Fr. Uria davon, dass diese Idee in Tansania diskutiert wird.
