WORKSHOP ON THE NEW DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE – CARITAS CANADA CAMPAIGN, SHARE THE JOURNEY
Every minute, 31 people are forced to flee their homes because they fear for their lives and safety. Rehana and her family had to find refuge in Bangladesh. “The army opened fire on our village. Our children were terrified. Each day, they asked if we would be attacked, tortured, or burned by the army,” she told us. Discover the stories of people forced to flee their homes and learn how you can take action in solidarity with them. Join us at our Workshop on Saturday, October 13, at 9:30 am, St. Anne’s Parish Centre, 859 Barnardo Ave., Peterborough, On. For more information, contact kstaunton@cogeco.ca or call 705 745 0034.

Development and Peace (The Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace) is the official international development organization of the Catholic Church in Canada and the Canadian member of Caritas Internationalis. Development and Peace is a membership led organization supported by parish collections, individual donations and government grants, principally from the Canadian International Development Agency.
Our mission is to support partners in the Global South who promote alternatives to unfair social, political and economic structures, and educate the Canadian population about the causes of poverty and mobilize Canadians towards actions for change. In the struggle for human dignity, the organization forms alliances with northern and southern groups working for social change. It also supports women in their search for social and economic justice.
