Father Joseph is not only a Prior, but a friend and a pillar of our Foundation since 2014, when he was one of its founders. He has always played a crucial operational role on our executive committee, closely following every project.

We think of his exploratory mission to West Papua in 2016, together with Maurizio Misitano and Father Tony Banks. It was there that he discovered the school that, thanks to your support, we are funding today. His profound knowledge of our projects and his closeness to our work make this election a fantastic choice.

May his path be bright and inspire all of us to do more, together.
