Posted on: 11/11/2024CAFOD Visit to Our Lady of GraceMonday 11th November 2024 Today, our children had the privilege of a visit from a CAFOD volunteer, Gillie Drinkall, who spoke with them about Catholic Social Teaching and the incredible work CAFOD does to brighten the lives of people in developing countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo. The children learned inspiring stories of people who have transformed their lives by acquiring skills that offer sustainable livelihoods—such as carpentry, sewing, and mushroom farming. Through this visit, our children gained a deeper understanding of how skill-building can empower individuals and communities to overcome challenges and create a better future for themselves. It was a valuable experience that reinforced the importance of compassion, resilience, and global solidarity.
