Our Sigonella Branch participated in a
Spring Family Service Project in a nun's institute foster care home located in
the historic heart of the town of Pedara. The name of the institute is Collegio
Maria Ausiliatrice- Istituto Sacro Cuore and is located in # 25 Via Filadelfo
Faro in Pedara.
The
nuns host a foster care home with 18 children who have been placed there by the
judges because they have abusive families or they are orphans. They've asked
for volunteer help to install synthetic turf in the playground area and paint
some rails in the court soccer field. This would be a great "family
COMREL" since you could bring your children who can play with the little
guests of the home (they love playing soccer!) while the volunteers conduct the
project. The children are indeed home only on Saturdays since they go to
school, so this would be the best time to catch them.

The nuns will provide all the working tools and have refreshments for the
volunteers who decide to stay on for lunch.
Twenty-five adults provided a little tender loving care for
these Italian children on Saturday, April 14.
It was amazing to watch the primary kids engage with the Italian
children in a hot game of soccer while the adults painted.

Love the pictures and hearing about your Italian experiences. Keep up the good work!
