Beyond the Headlines from Jesuit Missions
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
Our friends at Jesuit Missions asked us to share this initiative with our Aloysian Community about forgotten wars.
7 days of Christmas for South Sudan and Ethiopia
Each day we are bombarded with headlines: the war in Ukraine, the economic crisis, COVID-19, and climate change are but a few. There are, however, many people around the world who don’t receive the same attention. In particular, the brothers and sisters that Jesuit Missions works with in developing countries.
South Sudan is the world’s newest independent country and one plagued by ongoing violence, hunger, and the impact of climate change. Ethiopia has been experiencing a civil war in Tigray since 2018, which has devastated the country and its people. More than 8 million people are in need of food assistance. Do you ever hear about them?
