Dear Luca:

I am, and we all at Council General are really dismayed by the catastrophe Italy is passing though in these moments...

On behalf of all, I assure you our prayer and the disposal of Council General for anything in our powerful reach.

With my prayer and affection in these difficult moments,

Dear Jose Ramón,

I am very touched by your friendship and he closeness you show us in these very difficult moments.

Actually, it seems that the first relief is working well and also the rescue. On our side, we have begun to gather funds. We are focused today on the possible actions to undertake in a second phase when the emergency relief is finished.

Therefore, i ask you to keep on praying for the victims of this earthquake.

Fraternal regards.

Luca Stefanini
National President - SSVP Italy
