Vélez-Málaga, Andalucía, Spain
Monasterio de Nuestra Señora de Gracia
A community of Poor Clares at the Monasterio de Nuestra Señora de Gracia, 2 km outside Vélez-Málaga (Málaga), one of the enclosed houses supported by Fundación DeClausura. In 2009 the nuns had to sell their historic convent in the town, which was in very poor condition, and moved to the present monastery.
The Poor Clares, whose foundation dates from 1503, are opening a house of prayer in part of the monastery to receive individuals and groups looking for silence. They have already paid much of the cost of fitting it out and ask for help with the rest.
Before you act. The appeal pages show a target and a percentage raised, not the amount in euros.

Valladolid, Spain
About 200 timber ceiling beams in the first floor of the cloister are failing from age, damp and wood-boring insects; many must be replaced and the rest treated. The 'Apadrina una viga' (sponsor a beam) appeal prices each beam at 300 euros.
Palma de Mallorca, Spain
A ruined building in the convent orchard, beside a central city street, is shored up, damp and at risk of collapse. The appeal funds its urgent repair.
