Dear Friends,
From the depth of my heart, I extend my sincere thanks to all of you who joined us at the Gala celebrating 20 years of CNEWA Canada, as well as to those who accompanied our event through prayer, even if you were unable to attend in person. Your presence – whether in person or in prayer – and your generosity made the evening truly memorable, filling it with warmth, hope, and joy.
I am especially grateful to you, our donors, for your solidarity and generosity that allow the CNEWA Canada team to continue serving those in need across the Middle East, Northeast Africa, India, and Eastern Europe. Your faithful support over the years, and during this milestone celebration, reminds us that God’s work thrives through the love and compassion of those who give selflessly. Your prayers, your encouragement, and your financial contributions are a true testament to your dedication to human dignity and to the mission of CNEWA.
Inspired by your sacrificial support, our wonderful team went all out and poured their hearts into every detail: from the welcoming smiles at the entrance, to the smooth organization of the evening, and the care shown in every interaction with our guests.

Together, donors and team alike, we continue bringing hope, education, and relief to countless individuals and communities over the past two decades. We, CNEWA Canada team, are humbled and inspired by your partnership in this work of mercy.
May God bless you abundantly for your generosity. May your hearts continue to be touched by those you help, and may we all be strengthened to carry this mission forward with faith, hope, and love.
With deepest gratitude,
Adriana Bara, PhD
