Community Involvement
Brighten the day of Our Aged
16 September
Letters Against ISO (LAISO) was started way back in February 2020. Hannah Senior who is the Social Service Captain at The Mac.Robertson Girls’ High School began by calling up aged-cares across Victoria and finding a small group of students who were interested in writing to them. The first aim of this organisation was to help bridge the gap between young people and the elderly, building connections via pen and paper. This idea has gained momentum. http://lettersagainstiso.com/
At the acknowledgements of Damascus Day in TA time on Wednesdday the Damascus College captains invited our community to become a part of the challenge. This is a student-based initiative in association with the Justice Action Group. We join with many school across Victoria. The hope is that many students will become a part of this rewarding work for social justice. It flows out of our Christian commitment to all people in need and represents a positive response to the directive of the fourth commandment: Honour your father and your mother.
Families are asked to encourage their family members to join and be active in supporting those in aged-care in this simple and effective way. As school Captain and LAISO Ambassador Hannah Mroczkowski says “We hope that you will take this opportunity to spread some joy in the community and continue to live in the Mercy tradition.”
