Ottawa, May 13, 2021 – Catholic Near East Welfare Association has launched an emergency campaign to encourage Canadians to help the most vulnerable persons in India who are suffering from the alarming spread of COVID-19.
“We urge all Canadians to remember the people of India as they battle the spread of COVID and, for those who can, to contribute financially to the efforts of our church partners on the ground,” says Carl Hétu, national director of CNEWA Canada. “Catholic communities and groups in India need our support as they deliver emergency assistance, both physical and spiritual, to those who are often overlooked or outside of the reach of government assistance.”
