Malachi Quality Time with Sister Chris

Today, we were extremely privileged to have quality time with Sister Chris. She spoke to us about political problems in Africa and the wider world, which results in trafficking and vulnerable people trying to flee their countries for a safer life and a more promising future. Over 3,000 people have died while crossing the Mediterranean Sea.

While distributing vital resources and talking to refugees in Calais, Sister Chris met a boy called Adam from Eritrea. He spoke about his life-threatening journey and the sacrifices his family had made to get to Calais from a little farm back home. If his family didn’t make this sacrifice, he would have had to join his country’s army and train underground in under horrific and savage leadership. If he stayed at home and his family didn’t allow him to join they would have been killed. He is now living in a three-bedroomed house in Calais with 30 other children hoping to finally make it to the UK one day.

Locally, Sister Chris told us about the homeless Shelter run in the St Matthias centre every Tuesday night. She told us of the harsh reality of how people can end up living on the streets and the dangers they are exposed to. She asked us all to donate to the Bow Food Bank by Sunday the 19th of November to help those in our local community. If you help, you will realise how at times you might take things for granted and thank God

  1. It felt very touching when Sister Christine told us the story about Adam.
