Today, there was a fair in our school. All the money raised will be donated to Salesian missions, where missionaries show the light of Christ and work to make lives of the disadvantaged youth of a few South African countries better. Last week, we collected things which we were selling afterwards - things like toys, crayons, board games, etc. But it wasn't a typical jumble sale! First of all, the collected things were supposed to be new. Each class had been asked to bring a big suitcase to school, as if we were getting ready for a real expedition! Day by day, throughout the week, the suitcases were being filled with things for the fair. Cool we can help!
Meanwhile, there was a short performance for students in our gym. Students from Year 7 (13-year-olds) sang some songs and read information about Salesian missions in South Africa. The students played various instruments such as bass guitar, violin and flute. One of our sisters joined them too, and played the guitar. Also, we had a special guest – a real missionary, a sister, who told us all about her work in Africa.
