La obra hospitalaria de la Orden de Malta

June 2013

Dear friends of Malteser International, This June, we have watched several projects, big and small, come to fruition. Two years and three months after the Japan earthquake, we joined Sister Caelina and "her" children in celebration at the opening of the new children’s home – a model project for the reconstruction of northern Japan. We saw a crucial health project at the Syrian-Turkish border come into being that will provide vital support to the region’s health care system in treating the war injured and sick refugees. Our Annual Report 2012 is also hot off the press – and we are proud to present it to you with this edition. Last but not least, we were also given the task to coordinate recovery efforts after the devastating floods in Germany. We will keep you informed about these efforts on our website. Thank you for your support!
