THE SITUATION IN CHILE AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE

Written by Administrator
Thursday, 04 March 2010 11:05
The President General, José Ramón Díaz-Torremocha, deeply moved by the tragedy that occurred last Saturday 27 February 2010, sent a message of solidarity in the name of the Council General to the Vincentians of Chile, and promised prayers for all those affected. The members of the Council General will be ready to provide the Superior Council of Chile with help in any way they can. We have received the following news from our Territorial Vice President, Renato de Lima, on the situation in Chile. The National President of SSVP Chile, Francisco Velasco, has had no reports of any injuries or deaths among Vincentians. Nor are there any reported deaths or injuries among those helped by Vincentian Conferences (families, or old people) so far. The Superior Council will produce a register showing the situation of our families, in order to see what happens. An old people’s home in the town of TALCA was damaged or partly destroyed, but none of the old people was injured, as they were all evacuated beforehand. The Zone Coordinator, Régulo Valenzuela Matte, is well, as are Francisco Velasco and the other officers of the Chilean SSVP Superior Council. Régulo Valenzuela Matte sent us this: "Dear Brother José Ramón: Many thanks for your concern at these difficult times. We are trying to assemble a report on the position of those helped by the Society, very difficult because of problems with communications. Thank you so much for your prayers, they give us strength and consolation. Once more, our thanks”. Council General has opened an account for contributions for Chile. Members around the world can make donations to help our brothers and sisters in Chile. You can also send your donations by cheque to Confédération Internationale de la Société de St. Vincent de Paul 6, rue de Londres – 75009 Paris – France Or make a bank transfer to: Banque CIC - Paris Bac 2 Bd Raspail 75007 Paris, FRANCE BIC (SWIFT CODE): CMCIFRPP IBAN (Compte n°) FR76 3006 6100 4100 0105 8120 129 Confédération Internationale - Société de St Vincent de Paul

EUROPEAN UNION FUNDING FOR A PROJECT IN THE CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC

Written by Administrator
Thursday, 11 March 2010 10:05
The EU has granted funding to the SSVP in the Central African Republic for a basic formation project. Over the next 48 months, this project will strengthen the capacity of the work of the SSVP, enabling it to provide better support for socially marginalised people in the RCA. The aims of this project are: To increase Conference participation in a variety of projects by better mobilisation of their own resources, giving sustainable support to the most deprived people. To improve the capabilities and technical skills of the staff at the various levels of the SSVP’s organisation, to formulate consistent projects that can help to increase the access of external resources, plan the work better and manage resources more effectively. This is the first time we have succeeded in winning funding from the European Union in this way for an African country. The International Council has agreed to provide the 10% co-funding requested by the EU, and will continue to help the RCA during the course of the project.

Thursday, 14 January 2010 10:11
The General Council is absolutely scared by the tragedy that has hit Port-au-Prince, capital of Haiti, where as you surely know, we are starting a big project in collaboration with the Vincentian Family. Right now, the General Council is calling for a subscription from all Conferences throughout the world, to raise the necessary financial means to reconstruct buildings and to alleviate the best we can, most of the suffering of people.

Written by Administrator

Friday, 05 March 2010 09:34

The Vincentian National Commission for work and housing, run by the Superior Council of the Republic of Argentina is developing a programme to promote and sell the crafts produced by families they support, and by the aboriginal people of the country. The scheme is intended to encourage integration and development through interchange, allowing poorer people to do what they do best, as well as generating a constant supply of genuine resources.

With the support of the European Union, fifty Vincentian volunteers were able to take part in fourteen cross-border visits organised throughout Europe between May and November 2009. These journeys allowed volunteers over 50 years of ageto pursue their personal development while finding out about projects of other Conference and National Councils in Europe.

Note from the Vincentian Family: Lenten Letter of Father General of the Congregation of the Mission

Written by Administrator
Wednesday, 17 February 2010 17:48
Among the different creative ways of resisting violence in our world today, the author puts forth fragility as an essential. At the same time he proposes the strength of horizontal dimensions in the organization of society as a solution, rather than hierarchical structures. In other words, the basis of solutions is achieved in a circular fashion, a sort of ‘around the table’ type of discussion where all those who are at the table, including the poor and the marginalized, are given the opportunity to express themselves as equals in the discussions.
