Since its establishment the convent has been caring for 200 orphanage children with psychophysical deficiencies for almost 15 years.
The beautiful craft-work and religious artefacts the Sisters brought with them today are made by recovering addicts in the monastery workshop. This not only enables the Sisters to raise much-needed funds to support their work with the poor and needy but also provides very beneficial therapy for those whom they seek to help.
