Sister Rhoda – Indonesia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Sister Rodha arrived in the Indonesian community in October 2025 to serve as bursar at the Congregation\u2019s nursery school. The proposed Social Enterprise involves agricultural activities. This would support the local community and, in part, the children attending the school. A devastating bereavement within the Congregation has delayed the start of activities, but the determination to establish the enterprise together and the commitment to promoting the Works of Mercy remain firm.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The relationship between spazio + spadoni and the Congregazione delle Suore Carmelitane Missionarie di Santa Teresa di Ges\u00f9 Bambino began to develop in July 2024, when Sister Zilda took part in the course promoted in Rome by spazio + spadoni on the riEvoluzione of the Works of Mercy. By pure coincidence, a few weeks later, Stefano, the linker in Tanzania, introduced spazio + spadoni to Sister Flora, who belongs to the Carmelite Congregation and asks to launch a project in her community. In the following months, the Congregation announced that Sister Flora would be transferred to Indonesia, so the project idea also moved from Africa to Asia. Relations between spazio + spadoni and the Congregation continued through both online meetings and meetings at the Motherhouse in Santa Marinella. In May 2025, it was announced that in July a sister, Sister Rhoda, who speaks Italian well, would come to Italy for a few weeks before moving to Indonesia, to the same community where Sister Flora would be. spazio + spadoni immediately seized the opportunity and, with the approval of the Superior General, invited Sister Rhoda to spend a few days gaining experience at the Associazione “Borgo Tutto \u00e8 Vita”, which had come into contact with spazio + spadoni several months earlier through a collaboration developed with I Ricostruttori.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collaboration between the Movement and the Institute continues through regular meetings at the Motherhouse and online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In September 2025, a devastating bereavement strikes the Congregation: the Mother General and three other sisters die in a road accident in Tanzania. Weeks of prayer follow in preparation for an extraordinary General Chapter, at which Sister M. Ivana Calvo is elected the new Superior General. Following the Chapter, it is decided that Sister Flora will be transferred to Italy. Sister Rhoda remains in Indonesia to develop the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
