Caritas is the Catholic agency for international Aid and Development.
On the 10th of February, 8 students from year 6/7 travelled to a Primary School for Caritas Leadership Day.
Shania, Claire, Hannah, Tiana, Brooke, Meg, Brittany and Kiara all attended the event.
The day commenced at 9.30am. There were four other schools that attended the event. We learned how Caritas sends aid to the people who are suffering from poverty or disaster.
The agency fights for justice by empowering people to help themselves.
We also learnt how to be a "Just Leader". Leadership is not a position it is an action! Did you Know that Caritas means LOVE in Latin?
Caritas has 8 Millennium Goals Carias aim to do half:
Poverty and Hunger
Primary Education
Women's Emprovement
