Greetings from all us: HALF YEAR 2022

Nowadays,  Madagascar our country is in a never seen crisis :Many things have impacted our country’s life and every Malagasy citizen, especially in our daily life:

• Climate change (Drought and flood which often happened.)
• Covid 19 still remains and kill people slowly.
• Petrol price increases ( 1 liter cost £ 1,50) and causes a never seen inflation ,consequently the value of the Malagasy money  tumbles down and our purchasing power is becoming insignificant !

Insecurity  is horrible  both in urban and in rural areas (Robbers, Killers, Stealers, Kidnapers…).The Government is in  several  great difficulties  and is afraid of new riot …Here, everybody  is in  a panic  situation ! Everything  are suddenly becoming  too  expensive for all us!

A  REFLECTION :

“ For how can I bear to see the calamity which is coming upon my country ? Or how can I bear to see the destruction of my family ? “ Esther 8 : 6

A  VISION:

Prov. 29 : 18 Where there is no vision people perish .… but man comes out to his work and to his  labours until evening. Psalms 104 : 23 

Victory is always possible for the person who refuses to stop fighting. Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance.

Always do your best  ; what you plant now you will harvest later .

DECISION  &  PROJECT

Due to these circumstances, we cannot create any other new projects . But the previous ones are held,continued  and  improved in terms of quantity and quality.

In the agricultural enterprise : We will improve our skills, we will use the  lombricompost and regular watering…for   fruit  trees. We will use some insecticide…

In the  livestock  enterprise : We will ameliorate their main  food for having enough good quality of products… (meat – milk –eggs  …) We will use good Vitamins and some  useful  veterinary medicinal products…

 HARVEST  APPEAL  2022

“ Freely you have received, freely give “ Matt. 10 : 8

In what ways is GOD asking us  to give to HIM, so that others  may benefit ?.

To sum up, we will need more prayers and  some help to improve the products by providing enough good  food and more medicinal products.

For the fields :£1000 and for the livestock : £1000………………Total : £2000

           “  For where your Treasure  is , there will your heart be also “ Mat.6 : 21

Some update photographs to show you the blessings of God and the results of your prayers and your financial supports in our last  Harvest  time. 

We always remember you all , both in our mind and in our daily prayer.

Warmest  Regards.

Fr  Georges and Eveline.
