"Where have all the Sisters gone, long time caring"
That is the question asked many times, by people young and old. Some have gone to Heaven, others to all parts of our world. They came to Buxton to lay the foundations of our Schools. Now we have two beautiful schools, monuments to them and their foundress Nano Nagle. Today, we honour them with our Thanksgiving. May we continue to help them with their caring and teaching in less fortunate parts of God's world.

| LETTER FROM THE PRESENTATION SISTERS IN ZAMBIA |
|
– Greetings with love from the Presentation Sisters in Zambia. I write to say a warm thank you for the generous donation you made to the Presentation Sisters in England, which has now been passed on to us in Zambia.
We are a group of 31 sisters, who originally came from Ireland, England, India and New Zealand. Now we have four young Zambian Sisters, with two more in the novitiate preparing to make profession next year.
Our sisters are involved in schools, pastoral work, Home Based Care programmes for people living with HIV AIDS, empowerment programmes for women, leadership training in the rural area, programmes for orphans and vulnerable children and for those physically challenged. We are also involved in the training and initiation of young women and men into religious life in Zambia.
Your generous donation will be of tremendous help to us, in any of the above areas, where there is need, but very specially in the training of young women as Presentation Sisters in Zambia.
Again, a warm thank you to all of you. Please continue to keep us in your prayer and we promise to hold all of you in our hearts and prayer with love and gratitude.
Peace, with love to all of you, Anne McDermott (Vice Province Leader)
