earthquake that devastated parts of Tonga, Samoa and American Samoa.

response to the call for relief assistance to the victims of the floods in
Australia is also very much appreciated by the SICA AGM.

letters of gratitude we received were most appreciative of our sign of love and
concern,” SICA said.
“These
are great moments for the SICA Family when we exercise real Christian Unity and
realize the dreams of those who founded SICA over forty years ago.
