We decided to write a letter to Bishop Pat to say what we are thinking. We want to share with you and also the clip that made us want to write the letter.
Lun Nee
Dear Bishop Patrick,
Catholic Office,
Auckland.
Catholic Office,
Auckland.
We are currently learning and discussing
ways of helping during this lenten season.
We have to say that watching Lun Nee
from Cambodia has made us think of ways
to help out.

We are Takiritia 3 of Year 2 and Year 3
students at St Pius X Catholic School in
Glen Innes. Listening to Lun Nee talking
about leaving school at Year 4 is sad
because he’s almost the same age as
us. We feel he’s way too young to drop
out of school.

In class, we pray every morning for people
who need our help and those who are poor.
We are also collecting coins to send to
Caritas.We try to help at home by doing
chores so we can help Mum and Dad just
like Lun did. Our teacher has collaboratively
worked with our parents to make sure
we do chores at home and joyfully bring
some coins to help Lun.

We thank you for giving us the opportunity
to learn and watch what the rest of the
world is facing. We have always thought
that we are poor but watching Lun has
reminded us to be thankful to be
ourselves and what we already have.

It was so interesting watching this video. Some of the students in our class thought it was like their family's homes back in Samoa and Fiji. We try to think of others and use Manakitangi with others. You do this every day with your prayers. Ka pai!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jane for writing to us. Some of our kids were sharing the same stories from Tonga and Samoa too. We do pray every morning and we get to pray for whoever we want to pray for.
