Making a Difference in El Salvador

Elly Seelye - Friday, February 17, 2012

Here's some news from El Salvador. Thanks for sending an update, Lillian!

"In January, 2010, a group of parishioners from St. John Neumann Church in Strongsville, Ohio visited Chiltiupan in El Salvador. They returned to Strongsville hoping to raise funds to purchase stoves for the people of Chiltiupan. Money was raised from a "Fiesta" and Fish Fries and sent to Sister Rose Terrell, an Ursuline nun in Chilitiupan, a member of the Cleveland Latin American Mission Team. Sister Rose purchased over 100 Ecocina stoves from Gustavo Pena in Sonsonata.

In January 2012, eleven of our parishioners again visited Chiltiupan. They said the people were very excited about the stoves and how they have changed their lives for the better. They were grateful to the people of St. John Neumann, and their pastor, Father Bob Kraig. Sister Rose plans on purchasing more Ecocinas.

My congratulations to Nancy Sanford Hughes for winning the 2011 Purpose Prize. What a contribution she has made."
