Dear Dr. Festl,

How are you? Thank you for the greetings brought by Mr. Mader. It is good that the 2, Mr. Mader and Mr. Wirkner have come. We can solve many problems together.
But to my great shock I learned that Rotary has a new law and they can only accept applications in July of a year and if the application is successful, funds can come maybe in August. Now we are in a big problem, because all the present funds we have will be exhausted by the end of Dec. 2012. So for Jan - August 2013, 7 months we have not a cent income for running our new TATI project. I am really desperate to hear this new law and had not counted on it. I have written to Misereor but I fear 1 1/2 months is not enough for them to help us for Jan 2013. So in my great desperation I am turning to you for help. Dear Dr. Festl try to find us € 35,000 to cover all our expenses between January and August 2013, until we can hopefully get something from Rotary or Misereor.

We have to pay the teaching staff, the accountant, the secretary, cook and cleaners and workers and watchmen. The income from the 150 students will never cover all these plus electricity, feeds for the animals etc. I worked it out and with € 35,000 we can get around. We shall try our best to get a little income from vegetables and milk and eggs once the chicks can lay. But this is not yet dependable. I know you are all helping in hospital and I fear troubling you but I promise you that once we do well I shall pay it back to St. Mulumba hospital what you can give us to bridge over this crisis.
 
I hope you have received the package of letters by now from Claus Harder. I also have still 2 letters to send you. Let me know if I omitted some, so we can still do them.

Please Dr. Festl, try also to get the second installment for the hostel block € 35,000 . The building is already up to the roofing and our TATI staff will make the doors and windows and beds and cupboards and tables & chairs for the 12 rooms.
Hoping and praying that you will be able to help us of the TATI financial crisis, I wish you all the best in this holy season of the coming advent.


Yours very Worried,


Sr. Luise O.P
