On Thursday 27 February, a group of five OLMC representatives visited Mercy Hub, where we learnt about the School of St Jude in Tanzania. We heard from the Founder, Gemma Sisia, who created the school with her dream to build a school for underprivileged children in 2002. She shared her experiences helping thousands of Tanzanian children get an education. Her goal for these children is not just to create a school but a community where they can all flourish into students who want to help their community and the wider world. John and Winnie, past students of St Jude's, shared their experiences of how one spot at a school can change someone's life. John shared how vital support and education are in moving families from poverty-stricken lives. The justice groups will now work towards finding a way for the OLMC community to help sponsor and support a child going to St Jude's. Seeing two 2024 Year 12 students (Ana and Caitlin) participating in Young Mercy Links was so great.
