Today we had
a Caritas lady called Gemma come into our class and teach us about what Caritas
people do to help other people in need.
Then we
learnt about a man called Nick and what he did for his job working for Caritas.
He had asked people in the Pacific Ocean about what is needed and what has
happened, then they got a group of people to help.
After that Gemma
showed us some pictures of a teenager called Maria. Maria was very lucky
because lots of people can’t afford to go to high school, but Maria could
afford to go. She lives
with her mum, dad, brothers and grandma. Maria has chores to do which are; wash
the clothes and wash her brothers.
The village
that Maria lives in only has three taps for water but Caritas is helping them
by getting them more taps so that they don’t have to keep on lining up in long
lines every day wasting their time.
We really
enjoyed learning about what Caritas is and we hope we learn more.
