Consuelo, Dominican Republic – Jan. 23, 2011 – Cane Cutters Relief donates a new truck to the Grey Sisters with help
from Rotary Club of Whitby. Marty Barreca is on site to inspect the
vehicle together with resident Sisters Catherine, Lenore Gibb and Natividad Rosa. This
truck will make it easier to deliver food, supplies, sick people and teachers
during inclimate weather to the bateyes
of San Pedro de Macoris province. The sisters accept another donation for their
projects to help batey residents.
