Father Šarka wrote to the community thanking them for their
generous contribution and that material from Australia lessens their need and
strengthen their spirit.

Clothes and Shoes to Germany
In 1954, the Adelaide Lithuanian community was still sending
clothes and shoes back to Germany.
Destined for Father Vaclovas Šarka in Hamburg, the boxes were to be distributed
to Lithuanians residing in Germany, but who do not reside in cities and do not
receive BALF packages (United Lithuanian Relief Fund of America (Bendras
Amerikos Lietuvių
Fondas A Šalpos) (BALFAS). These Lithuanians often live far from the
larger Lithuanian communities in DP camps and are hard to reach and sometimes
forgotten.
