"These women are silently going about their work, making a difference one life at a time, under very challenging circumstances." This is very true indeed. I salute Conrad Hilton Foundation through ACWECA with the programs under ASEC which have empowered many of our Sisters on the Continent through education initiatives. I believe that education is a key to development and meaningful evangelisation.
