Human connections go beyond geographic distances and true fraternity is practiced in spite of it.<\/p>\n

A group of young residents and graduates of the Saint Isabel House of the Child (OCSI), in Luanda, the capital of Angola, has participated in biweekly distance training with members of the\u00a0Fraternity \u2013 International Humanitarian Missions (FIHM)<\/a>,<\/strong> affiliated with the\u00a0Fraternity \u2013 International Humanitarian Federation (FIHF)<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Activities done by the Monastery of the Grace Mercy Order in Angola.<\/p><\/div>\n

In 2019, the Fraternity Missions (FIHM) carried out a specific humanitarian mission in\u00a0Angola<\/a>,<\/strong> and from that, a monastery of the\u00a0Grace Mercy Order<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0was established in the capital. Since then, because of the pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the collaborators of the organization had to return to Brazil.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe found that these online meetings are a way to stay connected with these young people, since a link was created during the six months of residency of the institution [in that country],\u201d says Anderson Santiago, missionary of the Fraternity\u00a0 Missions (FIHM), and one of the organizers of the training.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
