Two compassionate Reverend sisters of the Catholic Church, Calabar, Cross River State, simply identified as Bridget and Onuigbo, have joined farming to their ecclesiastical work to raise supplementary fund to feed old and indigent persons at the Pope John Paul II Good Samaritan Home, a Catholic facility, which they oversee.
They cultivate yam, cassava, coco-yam and vegetables and harvest at due season to feed about 25 persons, mainly old and needy persons who can no longer feed themselves at the home located along Target Street, by Mary Slessor Avenue.
The home has been hit by shortage of food and other provisions for some years now as donations from kind-hearted persons were no longer enough to cater for the inmates, hence the reverend sisters thought of a way out.
Rev. Sister Bridget noted that they share their time between going to the chapel for prayers and going to the farm daily, except on Sundays
