Fr. Michael and Deacon Frank visited the Dream Center and the St. John Paul II Children Nutrition Center, two centers run by the Community of Sant'Egidio in Blantyre. The Dream Center provides medicines and support to pregnant mothers with HIV/AIDS. They are currently serving around 5,000 people and have achieved over a 99% non-transference rate of the disease from mother to child! At the St. JP II Center over 600 children are fed daily! Both centers' services are free with no charge.
