MATER MEKONG HOMAGE TO CAMBODIA

Mater travelled to Cambodia and suffered an accident very common for the country, She was hit by anti-personal mine in the most profound part of her heart, and like millions and millions of Cambodians, she was bound to a “MEKONG” wheelchair and mutilated her right hand.

Our Mother wants to be one more among those who suffer the horrors of the war, among those who can´t find peace in words, among those who have lost hope.

The Virgin needs us to lend her a hand, the hand that was so violently taken from her and with which she will no longer be able to work. She needs a job adapted to her new situation.

Let us be her right hand!!!

She needs us to push her wheelchair wherever she can be of most help, wherever her presence is needed.

She asks with her serene attitude that we accompany her in her solitude, that we transport her wherever she can´t go on her own. She wants to reach every corner of the world.

Mater wants to be human, a Mother, a woman of our times, she wants to be modern and take part in our world, she wants to participate in our lives, in our wishes, our desires, pains and suffering, and also in our accomplishments, success and happiness.

She wants to feel alive. Let us be her hands and feet!!
