Here is our brochure for the Dawu Parish Golden Anniversary.
We need financial help from generous persons and parishes to achieve our plan for our Golden Anniversary. We hope you could give us a little help.
Let the pictures speak for themselves the desire and the need of these poor people to have a descent church. They have enough faith but they don't have enough money. They need to raise 1 million just to have a DESCENT church.
