Goal

 

The goal of Program One is to introduce students to the ongoing situation of poverty for many people in Malawi and how the Church is involved, thanks in part to the support of young Canadians through the Holy Childhood Association.

 

Steps

2. Ask students to form small groups to describe the following:

  • Name five facts about Malawi and its people.
  • How do Canadians help through the Holy Childhood Society?
  • Why does the Church help people who are poor?
  • Give three reasons why Canadian Catholics should support the
    work of the Church in Malawi.

 

3. Option for Take-Home Assignment

  • Poverty in Malawi and what it is like to be poor there.
  • What happens when young people get a better education than their parents can afford.
  • Find out how Canadian Catholics support the work of the Church in Malawi.
  • Describe how students can help Holy Childhood Association and the Church’s work in Malawi.
