Lent - Project Compassion

Second Week of Lent

Ronita is 22. She lives with her husband and two children in a barangay (local district) in Quezon City, which is situated in Metro Manila in the Philippines.

Ronita left school when she became pregnant as a teenager. This could have had a life-long impact on her ability to find work and provide for her family but, thankfully, she heard about the Alternative Learning System (ALS) program run by the Faithful Companions of Jesus (FCJ), Caritas Australia’s local partner in the Philippines.

Through the FCJ, Ronita was able to re-enrol in her studies and continue learning in a safe and flexible environment – even with the arrival of her

second child.

After completing her ALS classes, Ronita went on to earn her Grade 12

Senior High School Diploma. With her new diploma, Ronita has now secured

a job at a call centre and is looking to a brighter future for her whole family.  

“I have now graduated senior school and I am so proud of myself,” she said.

“I feel hopeful for the future… Now it’s not impossible for me to achieve my

dream… Thank you.” 

Please donate to Project Compassion

Together, we can help vulnerable communities face their challenges today

and build a better tomorrow for all future generations.

We are encouraged to put our compassion into action this Lent through prayer, fasting and almsgiving by supporting Project Compassion. Each class received a Project Compassion box during Ash Wednesday Liturgies/Masses last week and students are encouraged to give generously to help others in need.
