A special wish to Sr MariaGrazia for her 50 years of religious life


On 5 August we celebrate Sr MariaGrazia’s 50 years of religious life as Daughter of Mary our Help of Christians (Salesian Sister of Don Bosco). Sr MariaGrazia is Director of the IIMA Human Rights Office since 2007 and she founded the VIDES International in 1987.
Her immense experience in VIDES International allowed her to have a deep knowledge of the Institute that at present she proudly represents in Geneva.
During her VIDES International experience she involved young volunteers in the salesian project encouraging them to open their heart and to adopt the ideals of justice and peace.
At present, in Geneva she is lead by the same enthusiasm and passion in order to touch the Governmental representatives’ hearts. She persistency fights to promote children’ rights and, in particular, to guarantee the right to education for all.
Sr MariaGrazia Caputo leads this Office from almost four years and in this period she shared her wonderful experience and the FMA’s activities with all the United Nations members.

A special wish to Sr MariaGrazia for these fisrt 50 years!

    Dear Sr. Maria Grazia,
     
    Very very happy to hear that you will be completing your 50 years of religious life on August 5th.  I assure you of my prayers and that of my community.  Thank you for the valuable service rendered to the Institute during these 50 y ears.  When we the "Project Mornese" group came to the house at Geneva we were not able to meet you.  It was very nice to meet all the sisters odver there.  I still have a good rememberence of it.  So have a nice day.
     
    With much love and prayers,
     
    Sr. Mary V.J. Nandigma, Bangalore Province, South India.
