Project Compassion
Project Compassion (Caritas)
Each year our College supports the work of Caritas during Lent.
Caritas raises funds in the lead up to Easter through a promotion called Project Compassion.
Each year Project Compassion brings together thousands of Australians in schools, parishes and the community to stand in solidarity with the world’s most vulnerable communities, to help end poverty, promote justice and uphold dignity.
This year’s Project Compassion showcases the many ways Caritas Australia works around the world with our local partners to offer hope to people most vulnerable to extreme poverty and injustice. Through a holistic approach, Caritas is working with communities providing hope for a just and fair world regardless of their ethnicity, political beliefs, gender or religion. We are assisting women, children and men to break free from the cycle of poverty whilst ensuring they are the architects of their own development.
GIVE LENT 100%
Project Compassion is Caritas Australia's annual Lenten fundraising and awareness-raising appeal. Millions of Australians come together in solidarity with the world's poor to help end poverty, promote justice and uphold dignity.
This week your child/ren will bring home
a) a flyer titled 'Project Compassion' Give Lent 100% - this flyer outlines the great work of Caritas using funds raised by Project Compassion.
b) a money collection box - each week you might be able to donate money saved from what you have 'given up' for Lent - bring it in to school and boost the school's fundraising efforts for Project Compassion.
Every dollar we raise during Lent through a variety of fundraising activities will be given to Project Compassion. Let's make a difference in 2019!
