Members of the St. Bede Partnership team visited with 5th grade students at St. Odilia Catholic School in Los Angeles December 1st, introducing local students to sights and sounds from Africa and new opportunities for global solidarity. St. Beders Ken Martinet, Lynda Hennon, and Ken Buckowski shared stories from their 2008 visit to Wa, Ghana, (West Africa) and helped the students create Christmas cards to send to students across the miles.

Thank you St. Odilia 5th graders! Special thanks as well to the teachers and administrators at St. Odilia's who made this visit possible.

Interested in having your students learn more about students in Africa and how they can unite with them in global solidarity?
St. Bede Partners will be visiting more schools and classrooms in 2010 to promote the message of global solidarity and consequently link students to new friends in Ghana. Contact ghana@bede.org if you have a school or organization with whom you'd like a St. Bede Partner to visit and present.
Good to see the vision St. Bede have with the wa Diocese. May God richly bless you all for making good plans to have very pertinent projects with wa Diocese. May God richly bless you all
