Revd. F. Raimund:

The Congregation of the Divine Word is the owner of some 600 hectares the area called St. Raphael (San Rafael), as Father Aurelio The land is very fertile, suitable for agriculture (maize, soya, wheat, cassava...) and also suitable for cattle. A family can live comfortably on a stretch of about 20 hectares.
The Congregation would put the land at the disposal of the Vietnamese refugees. We would offer them the land to buy at favourable terms in price and by instalments.
We are ready to collaborate with you in your delicate task, and may God grant that it is a possibility.
With best wishes, I greet you in the Charity of the Divine Word,
Father Carlos Isturiz
