    Merry Christmas 2005

    Dear friends,

    For Planetek Italia it has become a tradition. The Holy Christmas means to us also finding a special way to feel us nearer to the others and to give a concrete hand to people who are not as lucky as we are. This year again we have decided to devolve to people in need the amount of money that we were supposed to spend for mailing traditional wishing cards.

    This time, to combine the possibility of helping people in need to the pleasure of a more sincere wish of Happy Christmas and good beginning of New Year, we have chosen the Diocesi of Rumbek, one of the African Missions of the Comboniani Fathers. Since years, the Diocesi of Rumbek has been bringing help in villages of the Sudan South devastated from the civil war. The human promotion, the scholastic education, the emancipation of women and the services to the health, are only some of the objectives of the Mission.

    We are sure you will agree our initiative, and we wish you all the best.
