The Waterloo Campus is situated in a remote suburb, 32km from the heart of Freetown, and is devoid of traditional electricity infrastructure. This absence of poles and wires necessitates innovative solutions. The current reliance on diesel power proves both expensive and prone to theft of fuel and essential components. Recognizing the urgency and potential impact of the project, His Grace Bishop Themi Athanopoulo has granted his endorsement for Mercy Centre Australia to spearhead and fully finance this vital initiative.
Contributing to this noble cause, the Greek Orthodox Parish of St. George in Rose Bay, Sydney, takes immense pride in its partnership with Mercy Centre Australia. The parish's support, channelled through this charitable organization, fosters a direct connection with the Orthodox Mission in Sierra Leone. With its origins rooted in 2013, Mercy Centre Australia was established by devoted St. George Parishioner John Golfin, initially aimed at aiding orphaned children in the impoverished slums of Bangkok, Thailand. Today, this compassionate effort has expanded to embrace orphanages in various corners of the world.

Furthermore, an illuminating 8-minute documentary is available, offering insights into the remarkable journey of Bishop Themi and the genesis of his mission in Sierra Leone. This documentary provides a window into the profound impact and unwavering commitment that define the Project Twilight endeavour.
As Project Twilight progresses, powered by the unity of the Greek Orthodox Parish of St. George and Mercy Centre Australia, the radiant light of positive change will extend to the Girls Orphanage at the heart of Sierra Leone's Orthodox Mission in Waterloo.
