Caritas Taiwan to donate to Catholic school in Mongolia

TAIPEI, Taiwan -- A Taiwanese charity group is expected to donate 500 sets of second-hand school desks and 30 second-hand dining-room table sets to a Catholic school in Mongolia, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) announced yesterday.

Caritas Taiwan has joined hands with the Taipei American School (TAS) in making the donation, Wu Rong-chuan (吳榮泉), vice chairman of MOFA's NGO Affairs Committee, said at a routine press conference.

MOFA has approved the budget for two 40-foot storage containers to ship the donations. Caritas Taiwan had scheduled to ship the donations by the end of July, he added.

Caritas Taiwan was established in 1969.

Since then Caritas Taiwan has dedicated itself to improving Taiwanese communities and helping provide health care services to underprivileged families, it said.

Collaborating with the Asia Partnership for Human Development, Caritas Taiwan has been helping in the development of third-world countries in Asia.

Since 1976, Caritas Taiwan has been assisting in the relief of refugees. It has since accepted membership to the International Catholic Migration Commission.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has praised Caritas Taiwan for its services to humanity, it added.
