EREA African Immersion 

EREA AFRICAN IMMERSION 

30 MARCH - 14 APRIL 2017

This week Mrs Jackie Walker heads to South Africa and Kenya on the EREA African Immersion. EREA stands for Edmund Rice Education Australia. The immersion will allow Jackie to connect with some amazing faith-based schools and programs on the ground in Kenya and South Africa. During the program she will:

Visit the transformational work that the Church and the Christian Brothers are conducting with people in poverty and living with HIV/Aids;

Share with families in Kibera Slum (Kenya) and homestay in Soweto Township (South Africa).

Experience African liturgies and explore faith and spirituality from an African perspective;

Dialogue with key leaders in the Kenyan and South African Communities and explore how the leadership style of prominent African Leaders have influenced change locally and globally;

Explore approaches to justice and peace education through experiencing how schools in Africa educate their students to build a better world for all;

Build community and reflect and pray together with other educators from across Edmund Rice schools.

We keep Jackie in our prayers as she departs for this experience of a lifetime.
