There once was a girl named Mary who lived on the streets. She was only 15 and could barely read. Her parents left her when she was 5. She didn't want her when she was born. They thought she was a mistake. She had tattered clothes and barley enough food for her to live One day when she was fasting for food a boy named Bob came along and offered to take her back to his apartment and send her to school.

“The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for
good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.” ― Barack Obama I really like this because it really means a lot and it is very true. It was said by a world leader so that makes it even more special. it explains what you should do if you have something to spare bacuse it might be something as small as a pencil that you give to someone but it could light up theirday besause it could be all they have. When 300 Loreto Mandeville Hall Toorak students filed on to the oval last month and spelt out the letters BBOG for Bring Back Our Girls, they were not only protesting the kidnapping of the Nigerian students, they were engaging with a philosophy at the very heart of the school’s beliefs.
“The value of social justice is an essential part of the foundation and philosophy of Loreto,” says Michelle McCarty, director of mission at Loreto Toorak. About 1000 girls, from preparatory to year 12, are enrolled at the independent Catholic girls’ school and all take part in “works of justice” as part of their education. The school believes this is an important part of educating hearts as well as minds. “We want our students to have the skills to analyse the structures of our society that perpetuate injustice, to be curious about it,” says Ms McCarty. “The justice program is part of both the curriculum and co-curricular life of the school.” Junior school students begin by collecting toys for special children, and enriching opportunities open up to them as they progress through the school. The social justice program addresses local, national and international issues. Locally, girls volunteer their time with such activities as Friday Night School, where they assist migrant and refugee people with English. They can volunteer at the Sacred Heart Mission or the St Vincent de Paul soup van in North Melbourne, or bring food from home to help stock the kitchen at the asylum seeker resource centre. Year 6 students are hosting a group of Aboriginal students from Djarindjin Lombadina School, near Broome. “This is the beginning of a relationship we hope to build with the school there,” says Ms McCarty. “In year 9, the ‘Journey to our Heart’ pilgrimage looks at Australian identity, reconciliation and our role in creating a just country,” says Ms McCarty. Year 10 girls make a pilgrimage to Ramingining in Arnhem Land, an Aboriginal community where the culture is strong and traditional. Loreto girls are invited into the school and community and spend time with their Aboriginal contemporaries and the female elders. The school is linked to the charitable work of Mary Ward International Australia, which supports Loreto Sisters’ projects around the world. At the end of year 11, girls making the pilgrimage to Vietnam volunteer in an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City. Work for justice continues after school is over. Star Camp, held in conjunction with other schools at the end of year 12, sees the girls take over as carers for children with special needs. Internationally, the social justice program enables girls to volunteer in Loreto projects in India, Kenya and East Timor, where they work in schools, community centres and advocacy centres. “We want our girls to leave Loreto and make a difference in the world,” says Ms McCarty The Age news paper Three hundred Loreto Mandeville Hall students gather on the oval to spell out BBOG ?

You are doing what is right. I am going to do this because when I go out to help the needy, I'll clothe the people who don't have very good clothes, I will give food to hungry and give water to thirsty. It will not only be me though, it will by the entire grade or even the year level. I hope this means a lot to the Lords because it means a lot to me. I really like this inquiry topic because I can actually do that. By helping the poor and needy we can actually do that.
Matthew 25: 31-40
“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,f you did it to me.
