One way to care for ourselves and our communities during the covid19 pandemic is to remember to take action for the most vulnerable people in our human family.

The pandemic is beginning to reach countries of the Global South where we work. Without the public health infrastructure, peaceful communities and privileges we have in Canada, the pandemic will wreak havoc on families. See updates from our partners here: https://www.devp.org/en/covid-19

Development and Peace wants to be ready to help when it happens.

Every Lent we raise funds through our Share Lent campaign to support integral human development projects in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. These projects help make communities healthier, stronger and more resiliant.

This year, I am raising funds for Development and Peace by participating in the first ever National THINKfast. People across Canada will be going without food from Holy Thursday, April 9th at 8pm until Good Friday, April 10th at 3pm.

We will gather at different times online during the fast for prayer, song, social justice activities and games,
