Social Justice poster competition

By Mary Lochan, Social Justice Education Committee

What do you get when you blend creative imagination and artistic talent, with concern for the poor and disempowered, and nascent exploration and discussion of social justice issues?

What we, the members of the Social Justice Education Committee, got was an interesting and heartening response to the Poster Competition for students of Forms 1 – 4 which was organised for Catholic Secondary Schools.

The Committee’s hope was that original and creative art designs would emerge from a dynamic and enriching process within the classroom whereby together students and teachers would:

  • dialogue on issues of injustice around them;
  • encounter Jesus in the Scriptures and reflect on both his deep compassion for the poor and marginalised, and his radical call to love;
  • become a little more acquainted with some of the core teachings of the Church on justice and peace;
  • identify ways we can build ‘a world that is more genuinely humane’.

When Elsbeth answered the phone, her friend said there was someone else in the department who was extremely customer-oriented, and could fit quite well as cialis generic cheap a liaison between Max and the customers. This results in that jumbled up, pseudo-English, and viagra online generic borderline unreadable Spam-speak we’re all so familiar with that was obviously not written by somebody with a firm grasp of the language. The women’s questionnaire included questions based on prescription levitra interest, arousal, satisfaction and pain during sex.
