    SUPPORT FOR PROJECT COMPASSION

    By Juliana | | Comments are Closed | 17 March, 2018 | 0

    Thank you parishioners for your continued support for Project Compassion during this
    Lenten period. Here’s a letter from one of the recipients of your generosity:

    Dear friends, My name is Psyche Mae and I’m a Filipino woman. I grew up in a squatter
    settlement on the edge of a giant rubbish dump in the Philippines. My family and I spent
    our days picking through the rubbish and selling what we could to make a living. It was
    the only way we could survive. But today I am very proud to tell you that I am employed as
    a social worker for the Philippines government. Thanks to Project Compassion, my family
    and I learned skills participating in the Caritas Australia Livelihood Program and through
    this we found a way to leave our life of poverty behind. In my job, I support women who
    experience domestic violence and help them leave their abusive relationship and start a
    better life. I decided to work with women because I’m wearing their shoes, I feel what they
    feel. And because, sadly, women and children living in poor conditions are more vulnerable
    to gender-based violence because they have less awareness and less power. So many
    women and girls continue to experience injustice, poverty and abuse. Your donations go a
    long way in the Philippines. Just $200 can provide a roof and basic building repairs for an
    urban squatter family living in rough housing in Manila. Thank you for supporting Caritas
    and for sharing what you have in life. I believe we have the power to change the world.
