Caritas promotes authentic human development. This means development of the whole person. It provides for their economic, cultural, political, social and spiritual wellbeing.
YCC Day is a special day when Caritas partners with Catholic schools across Aotearoa New Zealand to stand in solidarity, raising funds and awareness for a selected focus school in need.
But what exactly is YCC Day?
The letters remind us of the purpose:
YCC Day will be celebrated on Friday, 27 June.
This year, we are standing in solidarity with St Leo’s Secondary School in Kiribati.
By coming together as one, we can help the students and teachers at St Leo’s achieve something they’ve always dreamed of — permanent classrooms where students can learn, grow, and thrive. Just imagine how much this will support their learning every day!
As Pilgrims of Hope, we are called to walk with faith and love, bringing change where it is needed most.
This YCC Day, let’s be a light of hope for the students of Kiribati. Together, we can help make their dream a reality.
Learning Resources
These resources have been created to help students learn more about what life is like for young people in Kiribati, and the many challenges they face every day.
Through this learning, students will discover how their support and actions can make a real difference in the lives of others.
Feel free to use any or all of these resources in your classroom learning programme to inspire reflection, empathy, and meaningful action.
Below are the different components or focus areas for student activities, condensed for ease of use.
We encourage you to save the files directly to your drive so you can edit the slides as needed to suit your students.
