Fr Mario Pacifici, the founding trustee of Andiamo Youth Cooperative Trust arrived back from Italy on Sunday 5 February.
Coincidentally, 5 February is the day he first arrived in Africa. Fr. Mario arrived in Kenya on 5 February 1977 before proceeding to Malawi where he has stayed ever since.

Speaking at a dinner organized for his coming, Fr. Mario talked about how special this day was to him because it reminded him of his first days in Africa.
Unlike in 1977 when he did not know really what he would face, this time Fr. Mario knows why he is in Africa and in Malawi particular. His passion for the poor was clearly manifested when he asked about the updates of the new Community Hospital that Andiamo Youth Cooperative Trust has built right close to Andiamo. It is expected that the hospital will serve not only people around Andiamo campus but also the whole district and beyond.
