Help the Sisters of Convent of Pharan, Sinai, Egypt.

The Convent of Pharan, dedicated to Prophet Moses, is a dependency (metochion) of the nearby Holy Monastery of Saint Catherine, Mount Sinai, Egypt. Five sisters live the Orthodox hesychastic monastic life here. Last winter, torrential rains which caused unusually large floods, completely destroyed the walls enclosing the Convent grounds (see the attached video links). Ever since, the sisters have been left exposed to the elements and to potential intruders. We are raising money, asking pious monastic-loving people everywhere to donate - however little they can - to help rebuild the Convent's walls. The total length of walls that need to be rebuilt is 150 m (500 ft). The cost is 20,000 Euros. This way the sisters can once again live their monastic life in safety. Since in the current world situation no pilgrims are visiting the Sinai peninsula, the Abbess of the Convent has given her blessing to this online fundraising campaign.
