Taiwan Meeting — Thursday

Today was the third full day of meetings.  The morning was spent in discussing collaboration and partnering with other groups.  Then the afternoon saw a report from Fr. Ray Finch, the Maryknoll Society Superior General followed by a closing liturgy and a final banquet.


Dr. Steven Linton (right) from the Eugene Bell Foundation spoke about treating multi-drug resistant TB in North Korea.  Fr. Gerry Hammond (left) has gone into North Korea more than 50 times as part of the Bell Foundation work, enabling Maryknoll to partner with the foundation.

 

Fr. Joe Thaler spoke about partnering in Nepal where for the past two years he has been directing a major relief effort after the big Nepal earthquakes of 2015.
