Mrs Coope (our teacher) introduced the topic of ‘Mission: Witnessing and Proclaiming Jesus throughout the World’ during a Religion Unit. We watched two videos that inspired us to make a difference.
The two videos were called ‘Ryan’s Well’ and ‘Catholic Mission in Peru’. Ryan raised $2000 to provide fresh water in a well in Africa. The Catholic Mission in Peru video was demonstrating what it would be like living in a third world country and how Catholic Mission helps. We compared their life to ours and realised that is wasn’t right.
We decided to raise money to buy resources for those in need across the world. At first it was hard to decide our goal but we came to the decision that we would raise 500 dollars. In the first few weeks we raised over 100 dollars in our class 5C, which gave us hope to raise more money.
To raise more money we set up a stall which had lollies, stationary, chips and bracelets. With that money we raised five hundred and nineteen dollars and twenty five cents. In total we have raised about $1100 because our classroom teacher (Mrs Coope) and our drama literacy teacher (Mr Martin) will match how much we have raised.
With this money, we will buy animals, back to school kits and wheelchairs for families in need. We hope that we can make a difference together!
