Egypt – Comboni Lay Missionaries

Mental Health and Education Project at Kitelakapel

30 September, 2024 by Alberto de la Portilla

Greetings to all.

We leave you a video that we have received from Kenya telling us about the project that the CLM community of Kitelakapel-Kenya is doing on Mental Health issues in collaboration with Hani (CLM of Egypt).

In it you will be able to hear first hand how it is being developed and the continuity they want to give. It is a nice example of collaboration with the presence of Hani and then the second time with the arrival of Mira (candidate from Egypt) and where financial support has been received from Spain.

Thank you all for your prayers and support to our CLM service in the places where we are present.
