Thank you from Ethiopia
I would like to thank the Mission Fund of Malta for its latest donation of €2,000 to the Galilee Centre, Ethiopia.
At present, we are in the process of constructing a new building, Block 04, which will have 12 rooms connected to a similar building we completed in May 2019.
This latest donation will be combined with a 2019 donation of €5,000 from the Mission Fund and this go towards the cost of the new building.
Since 2005, I have been helping the Church in Ethiopia in a retreat centre run by the Jesuits and the Franciscan Sisters of Our Lady, called Galilee Centre, in Debre Zeit. My main ministry is to offer retreats, spiritual directions and seminars to the religious and priests of the Ethiopian Catholic Church and to other Christian Churches as well.

Labour MEP Alex Agius Saliba, together with other S&D MEPs, has launched the European Medicinal Cannabis Alliance to help introduce a set of harmonised standards for medicinal cannabis across all EU Member States.
“Today, being World Cancer Day, is a very important day to launch this alliance, as a lot of cancer patients are awaiting their medicinal cannabis treatment and are facing obstacles every day. Medical cannabis is increasingly being used more frequently to treat patients with various conditions, and science is showing that the results are very encouraging, he stated.

A Maltese MEP has launched a Europe-wide alliance of policy-makers seeking to promote better understanding over medicinal cannabis and harmonising legislation across Member States.
The group, European Medicinal Cannabis Alliance, was announced by Alex Agius Saliba, with a number of other MEPs like Poland’s Robert Biedroń, Italy’s Brando Benifel and Belgium’s Maria Arena already on board.
The European Medicinal Cannabis Alliance was launched on World Cancer Day.

In a letter inviting all MEPs to join the alliance, the group noted that though medicinal cannabis is “increasingly being used more frequently to treat patients with various conditions”, any progress is being “slowed” due to different regulations over use of the plant across the EU’s 27 Member States.
