Mission Possible: Capuchin Friars To The Ends Of The Earth 

Take the Diocese of Mendi in Papua New Guinea, for example. Friars cooperated with the government's agricultural department in bringing cattle, sheep, water buffalo, turkeys, chickens, and ducks to improve economic opportunities in the area. They also assisted the people in finding ways of planting cash crops, opening stores, and taking advantage of the available timber for commercial sawmilling.

Father Novatus lives out his vocation in Pangani, Tanzania. Local parents begged Father and the Capuchin friars to build and run a school for their children. The youngsters face a bleak, impoverished future without a school in this forgotten area.

With great enthusiasm and support from the Seraphic Mass Association, Father Novatus gathered an energetic and hardworking crew to complete the first building of the new school.

Because schools are scarce in the rural areas of Tanzania, parents send children long distances to attend school. Father Novatus must house and feed the students. And more classrooms, a dormitory and cafeteria, recreation areas, and a library are needed.
