ACT FOR PEACE: RATION CHALLENGE

This year the Faith and Mission team is inviting staff and students to be involved in the Ration Challenge which asks students to eat the same rations as a refugee for 3-5 days and get sponsored to do so. By putting themselves in the shoes of a refugee, they'll learn about global issues, develop empathy for others and feel empowered to make a difference in the world. Last year the students and staff that took part raised over $8000 to support refugees and other conflict and disaster-affected communities around the world. We are hoping to be just as successful in our fundraising efforts this year.

The Ration Challenge for our students will take place from 20th-24th of June. In the lead up to and during this week, students will learn more about the complex issues surrounding conflict and displacement of refugees around the world. The school seeks to give students a safe and empowering way to respond to these issues through the Ration Challenge.

Students have received a Google Form via their emails to sign up for the Challenge. If you would like to sponsor a student or staff member please head to the following link to donate: https://schools.rationchallenge.org.au/st-mary-mac-killop-college-swan-hill
