CARITAS PROJECT COMPASSION

First Sunday of Lent 21 February

Samon and Sochhin help in the vegetable garden. Today they are picking morning glory (a type of spinach).

The good news of the Gospel challenges us to change ourselves and our world for the better. This week’s story takes us to rural Cambodia where Samon lives with his family. Life here is often a daily struggle. Caritas Australia is supporting 22 Cambodian communities, including Samon’s, with practical training in micro credit to increase families’ food production and livelihoods. Your generous donations to Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion allow subsistence farmer families to gain skills to increase their household food security and offers hope for a healthier future.
