We asked our Social Justice Team what it means to help our brothers and sisters in Uganda:

Though it may seem like a waste, our thoughts and funds actually go a long way for the children and people in Uganda. The money we donate, the support we give, it all means something special. The children at our sister school appreciate us, so it should be right that we appreciate them back. It makes me feel good to see how much money us as a school community has raised in building new classrooms, providing clothes, and giving them a breakfast support system. Their smiles only encourage our mission of keeping them healthy and well. Thank you everyone for all your support, lets continue this gratitude.

The importance of helping the people in Uganda is being someone who is there for them, without us they wouldn't have all the privileges that they do have. My experience on how our school helps makes me feel proud on how something so small for us can equal so much for them, by just donating our time, money and resources we are building them an education and a sense of hope for their future.

For me, helping the kids in Uganda makes me feel accomplished because I know how lucky we are to live in Australia with access to our school and food and water every day. Knowing that the kids didn't have that, but we have the opportunity to help them and even what we have done so far thought it may only seem small for us I know that for them it means the world and it's the difference between going to school or not. I love being able to be a part of a school that can help provide and give to those less fortunate than us.

At CRCCS, we donate money to a school in Uganda, where we help build classrooms for many children and provide them with breakfast every day. Without our help, many kids would be taught under trees, not in real classrooms. It warms my heart that we can make a difference, and I hope that more people do what our school does and donates to those in need.

Supporting our brothers and sisters in Uganda is important because it reminds us to share love and compassion. At our school, we give through fun and fundraising which makes me feel proud to be part of positive change.

Our contributions our brothers and sisters in Uganda is crucial as we have made a significant change to their lives. Whenever there is a casual clothes day or any food and snack items being sold by the Social Justice teams on occasion, even a simple dollar makes a positive impact. We as a college community have transformed the lives of those kids in Uganda, having built many classrooms blocks suitable for learning, providing them with breakfast every morning, and so much more to change their lives for the better and making a difference. Many often take our fortune of being in a school and country like ours for granted so it is important to help those who do not have that same fortune, even if it is just a $2 coin on casual clothes day.
