2011 Fiji Pilgrimage of Hope at St Christopher’s Home

"Our care for the children always reminds us that St Christopher means Christ Bearer."

St Christopher’s is an Orphanage in Fiji run by an Anglican Order of Sisters, the Community of the Sacred Name. The majority of the children at the Home are orphans and the other children are there because they have been abused, neglected, abandoned by their families, or for a time may need time away from their families. The Sisters are amazing women who dedicate their lives to caring for these children.

Service

Our intention is to offer service to St Christopher’s in any way possible while we are there.

We will participate in the maintenance of the Home and we hope to extend friendship, love and kindness to the children.

For ourselves, apart from this voluntary service, we look forward to experiencing a different cultural environment, gaining a better understanding of ourselves and learning to consider the needs of others.

Fundraising

At our various schools, we will be involved in fund raising activities to facilitate our involvement in service work at St Christopher’s. We will be taking linen, clothing, stationery, medical supplies  for the Home. Staff from our schools support the efforts of the students. Our target is to raise $6,000 - all of which will be spent on service work at St Christopher’s Home.
