VATICAN CITY, JUL 6, 2001 (VIS) - The annual meeting of the Board of Directors of the "Populorum Progressio" Foundation to determine how to finance various projects presented to the foundation will take place from July 9 to 11 in Vera Paz, Guatemala. The beneficiaries of such funds are the farming, indigenous, mestizo and poor Afro-American communities of Central and Latin America.
Today's communique announcing the meeting states that Archbishop Paul Josef Cordes, president of the Pontifical Council "Cor Unum," will participate. Members will examine 308 proposals coming from 19 countries in Latin America and Central America. The projects involve the sectors of professional formation, education, health, water supplies, the production and sale of products, transportation and community development.
The communique appealed for generosity on the part of individuals and institutions because "unfortunately, we have reached the limit of available resources for financing these projects."
