Extraordinary Mission Sunday 2021

Posted on Posted in Saint Monica Hospital

Extraordinary Mission Sunday with the title “Come and see” was held under Corona conditions.
The services were enriched with a selection of pictures. Some of them are already here on the homepage, others we would like to show on this occasion.
In the beginning there was a dream. Then there were people who believed in it. People from Verein Rev. Macha, our pastor – people from Tanzania – many people from Fellbach, Schmiden and Oeffingen.

We are all so happy that this dream could be opened and put into operation before Corona.
Now treatments under these conditions are also possible.

But normal hospital operations continue as well.

Many people have been involved so that the dream could become reality, but the necessary support is not yet at an end.
Now an X-ray machine, which is provided by the University Hospital Ulm fully functional, is to be transported to Tanzania. Currently, the device is being packed for transport, just now the necessary container is standing on a yard near us in Oeffingen and is being packed to set off on its journey. There is still a little room for more medical equipment.

Please help with monetary donations and, if necessary, donations in kind! Currently, another aid container can go on the road, if the freight costs can be paid. In addition to the large X-ray machine in mint condition, there would be room for

  • further well preserved and functional medical equipment
  • medical supplies such as bandages, gloves
  • Assistive devices such as wheelchairs, walkers, etc.

We would like to point out that donations of clothing and linen may no longer be sent.
Monetary donations, also for sponsorships, can be transferred to the account of the Fellbach-based sponsoring association Baraka e. V..
A donation receipt will be issued by the association.
A sponsoring membership with the association can be subscribed (20 € annually).
