FDZ Mission Day 2007 BBQ - Thank You (Added 05 May 2008)

On Sunday 13 April 2008, a special BBQ was held to raise funds for our Mission in Bolivia, South America. Funds from the BBQ went towards restoring, furnishing and purchasing equipment for the four classrooms and library given by the Chapel Virgen of Urkupina, of the Parish Hombres Nuevos, for the underprivileged children of the Village Plan 3000.

The BBQ was a resounding success and was attended by friends and supporters of the Daughters of Divine Zeal—the majority from the Italian and Filipino communities. Organised by our special friend, Nelson Estrella, everyone enjoyed a wonderful meal, catching up with old and new friends and renewing their association with the Sisters as can be seen below.
