MISSION MATTERS
Project Compassion
Let’s unite against poverty, one thread at a time.
Next week, our College will launch Project Compassion, an initiative led by Caritas Australia that encourages students to make a difference in the lives of those in need. With this year’s theme, “United Against Poverty” we are reminded of the impact that we can make in the world today.
Our Project Compassion launch will take place at the conclusion of the Ash Wednesday Prayer Service. Students will learn about the importance of giving, compassion, and social justice. We will hear the powerful story of Irene who has benefited from a 6-month sewing course, offered by Caritas Kongolo who also provided sewing machines so she and others could continue practising their skills and earn an income.
Caritas programs reinforce the real change that can be made from small acts of generosity.
Throughout Lent, students will have the opportunity to participate in fundraising activities and we encourage them to commit to contributing what they can by giving freely to project compassion.
