26 students and staff are taking part in the Act for Peace Refugee Ration Challenge and have so far raised $7900 to support refugee programs as part of the National Council of Churches in Australia initiative. While beans, lentils, sardines and rice make for a very boring diet, the experience is one that is rich in learning. Our hope is that by taking part in this challenge, we will come to understand the difficulties people face in daily life and become more compassionate ourselves.
