Lent

The Year Three children in class have been watching the weekly Caritas stories to help them understand where the money Project Compassion raises.  Last week, they learnt about Rattanak, a Cambodian man who is deaf. With support from Caritas, Rattanak was sent to a school that helps the hearing impaired where he learnt sign language. This enabled him to communicate with his friends and family.

The Year Threes were very interested in learning how people who are deaf communicate so they learnt some Auslan signs and made the movie below.

THIRD WEEK OF LENT

Bayan is a 12 year old Syrian girl, living with her family in Jordan. An ambitious student, Bayan has her sights set on a career as an ophthalmologist. As a quiet, young refugee she struggled to overcome the trauma of growing up in a conflict zone and faced the prospect of missing out on schooling. With Caritas Australia’s support, Bayan is an academic high-achiever who is flourishing in a stable school environment.

Please donate to Project Compassion 2018 and help bring stability to vulnerable youth, providing just futures for others like Bayan.
