Cyclone Idai ravaged several countries in the southern part of the African continent including Mozambique last March 4 – 21 2019. International news organisation reports fatalities to have reached more than 1 000.

We can only admire the dedication and courage of these young Divine Word Missionaries to serve the Church in whatever place and situation they were sent.
