As a child, Sister Ana María felt the call of Jesus, who poured out his mercy on her and strengthened her to give her life to Hospitality. In her mission, she has witnessed God's love in every person she has cared for, from children with the after-effects of polio to those suffering from mental health disorders. God is here with them, strengthening them... and we are praying, accompanying them and giving them all our love so that they can move forward.

Heartfelt gratitude! We are deeply thankful to an amazing NGO from Adansi Kenea for their generous support. Upon learning about our challenges, they donated essential items and stationery, bringing joy to St Benito Menni Hospital. The donations were presented to Reverend Sister Felicia Gbortsu, and in a touching gesture, they gifted a wheelchair to one of our children, greatly improving their mobility. Their kindness and compassion inspire us, and we look forward to a continued partnership. Thank you for making a difference! #Gratitude #CommunitySupport #ActsOfKindness #MakingADifference #TogetherWeCan
