Visit to Manos Unidas!!!!

It was a pleasure and a great experience while visiting the office of Manos Unidas in Alicante...we all know that it is an charitable organization which every year sends a good amount of financial help to many poor countries...In Alicante they have one office which is part of the diocese of Alicante...there are about 50 t0o 60 offices who collaborate with the main office in Madrid.....each diocese has its own team who guide and direct the work of Manos Unidas....I was told that 90% of the people working are all volunteers....most of them are retired and do yeoman's work and service to the needy Catholics of Asia, Africa and Latin America....I heard that every year they receive nothing less than 500 various projects for children, social projects etc.....Next year is dedicated to women....each parish is committed to contribute for projects that are urgent and necessary....Manos Unidas is well organized and common people appreciate their work....people have a great satisfaction because their money is used for right projects and needs.....But the delegate of Manos Unidas in Alicante informed me that the donations and contributions are going down every year but the needs are on the increase...they are careful in granting or approving the projects....only projects of social work and children are given top priority....no projects for constructions.....Let us pray for Manos Unidas.....for all the volunteers, donors and well wishers.....pray that the Lord inspire all the people of Spain to contribute for the needy....
