Welcome to a new year and new semester!
As most of the older COSDU-ans would know, there is a noticeboard in the Chaplaincy's kitchen which would be updated every Friday on issues of justice and peace.
You are all more than welcome to go to the Chaplaincy, visit Sister, have a cup of tea and gaze at the noticeboard. It's quite a nice way to update yourselves with the events of the world if like me, you're finding it harder and harder to make it back in time for SBS World News Australia.
Anyway, the articles on the noticeboard this week coincides with International Women's Day which was on Thursday, the 8th. International Women's Day is not only about empowering women but to make us realise that there are large numbers of women in the world experiencing poverty and oppression. Read about the women in Afghanistan and Iran.
Also, this being the season of lent, why not think about contributing an amount you can afford to Project Compassion? This Catholic organisation does some pretty amazing work and you can read about the people and communities they are supporting on the noticeboard.
Oh, and don't forget to look out for Mother Teresa's lenten message too.
