Children’s Center opens in Jwaneng, Botswana The dream has become a reality for the SCN Congregation, the Botswanan government and Church, and especially for the children of Botswana. After two years of praying, working and waiting, on November 26, 2002, the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth missioned in Botswana moved into what will be a new home to them and local children orphaned by the AIDS virus – the Mpule Kwelagobe Children’s Center. Five SCNs traveled to Botswana in September of 2000 to take up the call to ministry presented to them – the care of children whose

parents had died of the AIDS virus. While awaiting completion of renovations to the orphanage, the SCNs learned the language, culture and provided medical, educational, and pastoral ministry to a people devasted by the AIDS virus – often participating in seven to eight funerals per week. According to Sarita Manavalan, one of the SCNs missioned in Botswana, the story of the children’s center began with the journey of a diamond. The search for diamonds in Botswana began in 1955, and in 1972 diamonds were discovered near the village of Jwaneng. In 1978, the Botswanan government signed a contract with the De Beers diamond company to establish a mine at Jwaneng, which included a hostel built for the men working in the mine. Botswanan Mpule Kwelagobe, Miss Universe 1999, visited the facility during her reign. Since she was an AIDS activist, the facility, no longer used as a hostel, was given to her. She, in turn, presented the property to the government for use as an orphanage. Miss Kwelagobe has been named a Goodwill Ambassador for the

United Nations Population Fund and has testified before the U.S. Congress regarding the AIDS pandemic in Africa. As a facility built for men, not children, the buildings required extensive renovations in order to function as a children’s center. Primarily funded by Botswana’s government, the orphanage also received a generous donation from the U.S. Embassy to make required adjustments. Working collaboratively with the Botswanan government and the local Catholic Church, the Sisters faced financial difficulties, red tape, and bureaucracy in their efforts to see necessary renovations completed so their work in the children’s center could begin.

Sister Sarita wrote in 2001, “Just as the alluvial diamonds are picked up from the river valleys and oceans, SCNs were picked up from across the oceans for this mission. And we too are going through a long process of ‘sorting out.’ We hope, at the end, we too will find the valuable diamonds of our adopted country – the children in need.” The local Bishop blessed the new house on December 19 and 21. The newly-opened center is located approximately one hour away from Gaborone, Botswana’s capital. Within the orphanage, there are 14 units, each housing six to eight children and a Continued On Page 5…

SCL visits SCNs in Botswana

Sister of Charity of Leavenworth (Kansas) Amy Wilcott visited the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth missioned in Botswana in Fall 2002. Here, she shares portions of her travel diaryâ&#x20AC;Ś

In a room pictured FOR THE SIC K full of people, at Mass, or in someone's home, everyone greets hospital with 31-year-o : Amy Wilcott ld Maru , SCL, is patient.

There is a huge AIDS crisis here. People do not admit to being sick or having the virus. If they are tested positive, the government will give them free medications. But, there is a stigma attached to having HIV/AIDS, and people do not tell others when they test positive. They also continue to have sex without telling their partners they have the virus. We visited a 34-year-old woman in a very small one-room house. She was nothing but skin and bones, and is too weak to get out of bed. She held my hand, looked up at me and said very slowly, "Sister, I am sick." This woman's sisters are also HIV positive, and even though they see their sister dying, they do not change their behavior... A 23-year- old mother of two is sick with "the virus" and while she had also been going to the medical clinic, her mother wanted her to see a traditional healer. So, since it meant so much to her and her family, we took her to him. It was an experience I'll never forget. His office was a tool shed next to his house â&#x20AC;&#x201C; absolutely filthy. After having the young woman toss a bag of bones and rocks onto the floor in front of us, he explained to her that she would be cured. Later in the day I talked to a Motswana woman who said that the people of Botswana must learn that a traditional healer cannot cure AIDS. I guess when they are so sick they look to whatever cure they believe will help them... This week I've gone with Nalini Mecharil, SCN to visit the hospital each day. Sister Nalini is a nurse, so she can talk with patients about their diagnosis. There are many, many AIDS patients. It is very hard to see. We stopped at the far end of the men's ward and found that an old man had not even touched his lunch. He was blind and very weak, so Sister Nalini began to feed him. He was so grateful and told her he hadn't eaten in several days. That meant he had no family or friends to help him, and the staff didn't either. Sister Nalini opened the stand next to his bed to look for a cup to give him water and roaches came scurrying out. It was so sad and sickening to see. We went back to see him the next day but there was another patient in his place. Sister Nalini thought he may have either been transferred to another ward, or he had died... I've had many insights throughout my time in Botswana, but one that I realized in particular after weeks of travel is how lucky we are in the U.S. to have water and electricity as a "given." I know that there are even places in the U.S. without such amenities. Many times here I have been in places without water, electricity, or both, and I realize how lucky I am to have access to them in the U.S. I hope to never take them for granted again.

SCNs continue tradition of involvement in farm workers ministry people would get hurt. She and Bishop Fitzpatrick stood between the farm workers and law enforcement personnel.

Margaret Dillier, SCN has witnessed tremendous progress in the quality of life for migrant farm workers since she first became involved in the fledgling farm workers ministry in 1972. The first seeds in building the National Farm Worker Ministry had been planted in 1920 when four migrant day care centers were established by the Council of Women for Home Missions in New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware. These church women soon sponsored programs for migrants in other states. By the 1950s, their ministry reached migrant farmworkers in more than 38 states. In September of 1965 farmworkers in Delano, Calif. went on strike and the California Migrant Ministry entered the struggle in support of Caesar Chavez and the farmworkers’ union. The grape boycott thrust the United Farm Worker issue into the consciousness of church bodies at the local, state and national levels.

“As long as we eat, we are involved in the Farm Workers’ struggle.” --Caesar Chavez State migrant ministries and national denominations began to reexamine their migrant ministry programs throughout the country.

WORKING FOR JUSTICE: Tess Browne, SCN (left), Rev. Eugene Boutilier (back right) and Francisca Olvera, OLVM, are pictured in summer 2002 picketing PictSweet Mushrooms and Frozen Foods in Ventura, California as a part of the National Farm Worker Ministry.

Farm workers were demanding more participation in their own self-determination and the support of churches. The National Farm Worker Ministry was formed in 1971 to meet the farmworkers’ needs for religious support in their struggle. On the wave of this new movement, Sister Margaret recalls how she joined another SCN, Joseph Beatrice Eyl, “Sister Joe B.,” (dec.) to address health issues of East Coast migrant workers. At the time there were nearly 10,000 migrants living in the Tampa, Fla. area with little or no provisions for healthcare. Sister Joe B. recruited volunteers and set up a night clinic to prove a need for such a facility, asking a developer to donate a trailer for a

clinic in Ruskin, Fla. The clinic blossomed, and with Sister Margaret as chair of the board, the government soon gave a million-dollar grant for a new facility. Other SCNs around the United States became involved in the ministry as well. SCN Tess Browne was working as a full-time advocate for farm workers in the Brownsville, Texas area, and SCN Carol Ann Messina became involved in farm worker issues through parish ministry in Raymondville, Texas. The SCNs present in Texas in the late 70s supported the farm workers in various ways, and Sisters Tess and Carol Ann formed the National Farm Workers Ministry staff. During the onion field strike of 1979, Sister Carol Ann became worried that

For more than 30 years SCNs have been actively involved in issues of justice for farm workers – seeking better treatment and living conditions for migrant workers. Today SCNs remain committed to the Farm Workers Ministry. Barbara Joseph Lammers, SCN stays abreast of farm worker issues, keeps these concerns before the SCN Community, and serves as an advocate for these issues in the public arena along with Sister Tess. In addition to letter-writing campaigns, participants in the Farm Worker Ministry boycott products produced by companies who treat workers unfairly.

The National Farm Worker Ministry is a movement within the religious community to be present with and support farm workers as they organize to overcome their powerlessness and achieve equality, freedom, and justice. For more information, see the websites www.nfwm.org and www.ufw.org. 3

Destination: India

Visit from U.S. surgeon answers prayers at Nazareth Hospital Dorothy MacDougall, SCN shared this personal account of how several persons and organizations working together accomplished an amazing feat. I still believe in miracles. First let me say that a favorite scripture quote of mine is from St. Paul and states: “All things work together unto good for those who love God.” This says to me that when many people work together because of their love of God and God’s people, miracles can happen. This story documents one of those “miracles.” In January 2002, I completed a three-year term on a committee that had been given the task of reorienting the mission of Nazareth Hospital. My final work period in Mokama had gone well. It was topped off with sessions for the doctors and the Sisters on the values essential to a faith-based hospital. We reviewed the inservice education programs that had been provided to the staff, the new medical services that had been developed for patients, and the equipment that had been purchased to make those services possible. Everyone agreed that much had been accomplished. As I was at the airport in Patna getting ready to leave India, Sister Philomena Kottoor, the Nazareth Hospital administrator, made a request. “Please find a

U.S. surgeon who will come to Mokama to teach our surgeons to do laparoscopic surgery.” “Okay, Philo – I will see what I can do,” was my feeble reply. “You know it would be good for our hospital to have a surgeon come from the States to give the training,” Sister Philo added in an effort to bolster my resolve. Yes, I did. We had already explored the possibility of sending a Mokama surgeon to the States for the training but had run into problems regarding credentialing. So I carried the task home with a heavy heart, fearing that I might not be able to accomplish it. I pondered how to begin to respond to Philo’s request. My first action was to write to Attorney Patricia Cahill, the President and CEO of Catholic Health Initiatives. With so many hospitals under her leadership, and with so many caring physicians practicing in them, I thought there might be someone open to this challenge. Ms. Cahill turned my request over to Sister Peggy Egan, a Vice President for Mission at CHI and a friend from my own CHI days. Peggy put me in touch with a wonderful organization I had worked with before: the Catholic Medical Mission Board. Ms. Rosemary DeCostanzo is one of the most

competent and committed individuals I have ever worked with, and she connected me with a doctor from New York who offers her expertise to people and places in medical need all over the world. At that time there was special trouble in Palestinian Bethlehem, and the doctor was going for a tour of duty at a maternity hospital there, after which she had a commitment in Africa. She really wanted to help us, but Dr. Deidre Byrne finally had to admit that she could not work our teaching assignment into her tight schedule. Ms. DeCostanzo assured me that she would find someone. Finally she found a qualified surgeon who could go to Mokama during the month of November, the best time for the

hospital. Dr. Frank Santamaria of Pennsylvania, whose credentials and resume affirmed his competency, agreed to travel to Mokama. The CMMB takes care of medical insurance, secures visas, makes plane reservations and does much more to make this program work. The only disappointing part of the total arrangement was that we wanted at least a month of the doctor’s time and in the end, he was only able to stay in Mokama for two weeks. It is obvious that “Doctor Frank” did a great job during his short stay. Sister Philo hopes he may be able to return to Nazareth Hospital for further teaching in the future and he would like very much to return. Dr. Continued On Page 5… SCN Journey

Visit from U.S. surgeon answers prayers at Nazareth Hospital Santamaria loved his stay at Mokama. “I came to give,” he said, “but I received much.” Before he left the U.S. an Indian doctor had told him that he would experience Indian hospitality. “I did not understand what he meant then, but now I do. I am a different person because of my experience in India,” he said. Dr. Santamaria also complimented the hospital’s leadership in wanting to bring laparoscopic surgery to Nazareth Hospital. “It is the future of healthcare, and you have it now in Mokama, a rural village.” And so, you see, the miracle happened!

It was the result of the collaborative efforts of many faith-filled individuals and groups Anyone along the way could have refused to help and the effort would have failed. Luckily, no one did. Nazareth Hospital is, for the most part, an unappreciated resource in the town of Mokama. The Sisters regularly face insurmountable obstacles. The hospital serves thirty surrounding villages very well, but unscrupulous persons without medical credentials lure town patients away from the hospital to their own “clinics,” or what India calls “nursing homes.”

When patients arrive by train to go to the hospital (Mokama is located at a railroad junction), there are sometimes paid persons waiting to direct the patients to the town clinics instead. Then after diseases ravage the patients’ neglected bodies and there is little or no possibility of recovery, patients often present themselves to the doctors at Nazareth Hospital. Reputations suffer when the patients do not survive.

During her recent visit to Botswana, Sister Shalini was struck by the devotion of a people whose average life expectancy is only 46 years. “There is not callousness that you would expect from those who experience so much death,” she said. “There is

a deep faith in the notion that this too will pass.” Surrounded by death and dying, Botswanans remain faithful. “The numbers are unbelievable,” Sister Shalini said, “but this is an important step.” Please walk with us on this journey. – “Some give by going to the mission. Some go to the mission by giving. Without both, there is no mission.”

for 55 years they have been able to serve the people of this area through their hospital and the associated clinics and village work. They are aware that the health status of the people has been elevated tremendously through those years. Most importantly, they know that there are other people of faith, separated by great distances geographically, with that same faith, willing to do all they can to help. SCNs continue to serve in a place that often does not appreciate their dedication because they truly believe that others across the world will work with them to assure that “All things work together unto good for all those who love God.”

Alumni Journeys

ONLY YOU CAN PROVIDE A MAP Alumnae who are also former members of the SCN community spent two days at Nazareth last July renewing friendships and participating in planned activities. Prior to the weekend, each alumna sent the OCA office a brief biography and a photo. These items were displayed around the wall of Crimmins Hall, the location that was the heart of all events. So even if a participant didn’t have time to visit with everyone, she could at least get a glimpse of others’ lives. A few of those biographies appear here in the hope of inspiring you to send your brief bio of the years since you left the elementary school, high school or college, hospital or service organization where you shared your space with Sisters of Charity of Nazareth. Following Alumni Journeys depends on your detailing the paths. Mail your biography to Alumni Relations, Attention: Barbara Qualls, Nazareth KY 40048. Or send it by email to bqualls@scnazarethky.org.

Miriam Pank Gravatte I left Nazareth in August 1967, immediately returned to Spalding University to resume studies for a degree in nursing, and graduated in May 1969. In September 1969 I married my husband Steve. We have five children and four grandchildren. I am a certified pediatric nurse and hold a certificate as a pediatric critical care nurse. Currently I am employed in the Sedation Department at Kosair Children’s Hospital in Louisville. I also teach Pediatric Advanced Life Support. My main interests are loving my grandchildren and reading. People important to me outside my family are seven women who have been my soul sisters for 40 years, my friends for 50.

Former SCN joins SCN Legacy Society Kitty Wilson, SCN invited Jo Ann Kaelin Jones to share her reasons for naming the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth as a beneficiary in her will. This is her story. My lifelong association with the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth has paved the way for who I am today. As a former SCN, I often share my story as a Catholic sister. While I may have given a lot, I received so much in return. My first assignment as an SCN was in Memphis, Tenn. where I met Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.. Along with other SCNs, I participated in the Memorial March after Dr. King was assassinated. This assignment and my work in a race relations program called “Project Bridge” in Cleveland, Ohio opened my eyes to inequality. Since living in Mississippi, I have become committed to racial and economic justice, to equal opportunity for all, and

most of all, to educational excellence for poor and disadvantaged children.

Destination: Belize

SCN helps to expand ministry in Belize For SCN Beverly Hoffman, a professional physical therapist, a recent visit to Belize gave her the answer to her question of how to best serve the SCN Community and the people of the world. Sister Beverly spent three months in Belize performing a variety of services as she explored her call to the mission there. “The ministry stretched me in different ways,” she said. “I taught classes at St. Johns Community College, helped Sister Higinia Bol clean her classroom in Belize city, was present for the commissioning of SCN Associate members, participated in a march to bring attention to violence against women, and assisted the other Sisters with lay ministry work.” Sister Beverly also networked in the medical field,

investigating the realities of the healthcare in Belize and the needs for physical therapy. She found that there is no government office for disabilities in Belize and that only one public hospital employs a physical therapist. (Most private hospitals are too expensive for the average Belizean.) Sister Beverly discovered that children have the greatest needs. While there are two schools for disabled children, those in the villages do not attend.

“After one month I knew this would be a lifegiving ministry,” Sister Beverly said. Shortly after, she received and accepted a job offer from CARE-Belize, a new national nongovernmental organization which oversees, monitors, develops and provides services for disabled persons in Belize. The organization provides athome screenings for children with disabilities, teaches physical therapy exercises which can be repeated at home, and instructs caregivers to construct helpful tools out of materials on hand, such as using buckets to make braces and scrap items to build wheelchairs. While Sister Beverly will be living with the Sisters at SCN Center in Belize City, her ministry will require travel throughout the country.
