Building hope together in Cambodia

Since the reintroduction of the Catholic Church in Cambodia – following the devasting civil war and rule of the Khmer Rouge – you have helped re-establish the provision of vital education; opening doors of hope for a better future.

One of the many projects supported by your prayers and donations is the Sacred Heart Kindergarten, where children whose parents need to work for survival find a safe space to learn and grow.

Fr Paul, a missionary priest and founder of the kindergarten, shares:

‘Our purpose is to do everything we can to proclaim the Good News. This means that we try to show that Jesus is a merciful God, who is open to everyone, even if they are non-Catholic. So, when we have activities with non-Catholics, even though we cannot speak of religious ideas [due to governmental restrictions], we can share the spirit of love, of mercy, that God loves them.’

As Christians, we all have a mission: to share God’s love with the whole world. No one is too young or too small to take part.

Through Mission Together, children everywhere pray for and share with one another, in a unique exchange of love and friendship. By praying for one another and sharing what we have, we all belong to God’s worldwide family.

Nurturing faith in England and Wales

Mission Together is the children’s branch of Missio. Its aim in England and Wales is two-fold: to support essential children’s projects in places of poverty and turmoil, and to support the mission of Catholic education through the creation of free catechetical, liturgical and classroom resources for primary schools.

Nurturing faith and building God’s kingdom is an essential element of Mission Together’s work. All our school resources seek to help children play an active part in God’s global family; working in solidarity for the benefit of all, but with a special concern for those living in poverty.

In addition to our free resources, volunteers for Mission Together visit schools to promote understanding of God’s global family and to encourage pupils to be ‘children helping children’, through sharing and prayer. Thanks to our school supporters and volunteers, thousands of pounds are raised each year to help fund Missio’s overseas children’s projects – such as our work with children in Cambodia.
