Sister Rosita, SCN
Congratulations to all the Sisters who provided these children with such support, celebration, and relief from their normal everyday stress! Giving them a mission to contribute to the health of their country was a terrific teachable event! God bless all!

Rosita, I am so impressed with the children’s distribution of 1700 masks to those who were on the roads. I sincerely hope that the vaccine is being made available to the people of Nepal and that they are seeing the protection that it affords.
Congratulations Rosita and sisters for your efforts to protect the rights of children.
Let COVID not ruin Children’s rights and opportunities.
