HAITI RESOURCES:Information and resources from various organizations are sharing ways schools and parishes can be in solidarity with the good people of Haiti. Please review resources and consider posting global websites on your school or parish websites so families can be actively involved.
OPERATION RICE BOWL and the SEASON OF LENT: The Missions Office will soon be mailing out the Rice Bowl materials to all the parishes and to the participating schools. The Operation Rice Bowl web site is up for 2010, and is greatly improved at http://orb.crs.org. Under the “resources” page are the items that would be of most interest to teachers. Afghanistan is one of the featured countries, and this additional link is provided to another page on the CRS site that is current and compelling – a first day of school with the help of Rice Bowl: http://crs.org/afghanistan/first-day-of-school/ For further information, please contact:
