An Introduction to our Service Learning Project
At the beginning of 2012 the UNHCR stated that there were approximately 15.2 million refugees worldwide, with 46% of these under the age of 18. As students lucky enough to live in a safe country and have an education, the numbers and ages of refugees worldwide has been startling for our service learning group. The Josephites organisation provides support to those displaced by conflict within their countries and are seeking a more stable future in Australia. As the PLC Josephites Service Learning group, we hope to aid the organisation in the running of a camp later this year.
