CAFOD, the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development, is one of our main charities at St Edmund Campion.  The following paragraphs are taken from their website and highlight their work in Gaza presently.

“CAFOD is working with Christian, Jewish, Muslim and secular partners in occupied Palestinian territory and Israel to mitigate disruption to Palestinian families’ daily lives in the West Bank, help poor families in Gaza meet basic needs and support Arab Israeli women to secure fair employment.

During his visit to the Holy Land, Pope Francis spoke of the “insecurity, the violation of rights, isolation and the flight of entire communities” and declared that “the time has come to put an end to this situation which has become increasingly unacceptable.” At the same time, he strongly condemned violence and terrorism, and called for peaceful coexistence between Jews, Christians and Muslims, and an end to all forms of discrimination based on race or religion.”

Through our non-school uniform day next Friday 28^th May, St Edmund Campion will be donating money to CAFOD to support their work in Gaza
