Helping Missio

Helping Missio in its mission

By Samantha Abela

Growing up we all have different experiences in life. The location where we are born, who our parents are, who we meet, our friends etc… they all effect our chances of success in life. Whilst most of us in our community live a good, comfortable life, not all the children of the world have such a blessed start to life and some need our help more than others. The Missio Fund helps missionary communities around the world and especially children who unfortunately are born in a state of poverty and need all the support they can get. October is the month dedicated to ‘Missionary work’ however since it was the beginning of the scholastic year, our Middle School students dedicated time during the last days of November in break time under the supervision of Ms Malani to collect some funds to donate to such a worthy cause. This year the funds will go towards helping the families in the community of Emdibir.

Criticism is something we all face, appreciation less so. Therefore, this time round, I would like to use this space as a token of appreciation for all those who participated in the LET THERE BE LIGHT event which took place on the 7th December.

A big thank you to all the parents who attended and helped in the event, including SEPTA. There truly was not enough space to swing a cat. Thank you to the exhibitors, the bakers, the cooks, the artisans who brought over their wares. Thank you for the hot drinks, the mulled wine and the egg nog. Thanks you for the help in setting up and in dismantling. Thank you for the words of encouragement.

Finally, thank you Analise, Annalise, Trish and Irene— It was a team effort and well worth the exhaustion. Blessed Christmas everybody
