Templar Corps and OSMTHU Commander in new Mission to Guiné Bissau

OSMTHU Commander of Arraiolos, Fr+ Rui Herdadinha, has travelled this week to Guine Bissau on personal business at the invitation of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, but also on an official Templar Corps mission.

During the last year Templar Corps has been preparing an ambitious program that aims to deploy equipment, train and certify local first responders, firefighters and paramedics in Portuguese speaking African countries.

In 2023 Jorge Amador, Knight Captain and Vice-National Commander Relief/Humanitarian Efforts of the Templar Corps unit from the Algarve, Portugal lead a training team in Cape Verde and in 2024 Fr+ Alberto dos Santos, KTJ, member of the OSMTHU Grand Priory of Portugal, has organized three charity events on behalf of the children of Luanda. 

The unstable political situation in Guiné-Bissau has forced the Templar Corps to further delay plans for the country. This week, however, Commander Herdadinha conducted a five day training event for senior directors of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce on Leadership, Economy and Management, reviving opportunities for new actions in the near future. The video bellow [subtitles in English] was featured in the “A Voz do Povo” local channel.

The Templar Corps International (templarcorps.org) is the largest Humanitarian Organization composed of men and women with an interest in the historical Templar Order and their values of Chivalry and Altruism. It has members in over 25 countries.
