Background |
|
|
|
As young people we empathise with other young people who are forced to go through no fault of their own; often without fundamentals such as health and education. We are therefore involved in projects in South Africa and Kenya. In doing so we are also educated in the hardships they endure, and the richness of spiritual prosperity and friendship that transcends economics.
We participate in three project in South Africa: Streetwise , Sukumawenze , Little Eden. In Kenya, we
support the work of the Irish Mercy Sisters, who provide healthcare and
education to those in need.
