HUMANISTIC AID FROM THE NGO “LIGHT OF AFRICA” OF THE PATRIARCHATE OF ALEXANDRIA SENT TO SIERRA LEONE

     The NGO “Light of Africa” of the Patriarchate of Alexandria and All Africa, together with the Missionary Society of Heraklion, Crete, “Bridge of Love” and the Brotherhood of External Missions in Thessaloniki, with the blessing of His Beatitude Theodoros II, Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria and All Africa, gathered together dental and general medical equipment which will immediately be sent together with other items to the capital of Sierra Leone, Freetown.

     It is to be noted that in Sierra Leone, a suffering country in the west of Africa with thousands of victims of the past civil war, especially orphaned children with physical disabilities due to the landmines, there is significant missionary and humanistic work being done by Archimandrite Themistocles Adamopoulos and his colleagues, under the guidance and spiritual concern of the local Metropolitan of Accra, His Eminence Damaskinos.
