Mary Ward THINKfast 2010

On February 18th, 2010, Mary Ward Catholic Secondary School kicked off its annual 25 hour Thinkfast!

Over 40 students participated in the fast, raised money and awareness. The event was filled with education, community, enthusiasm and an important display of solidarity with our sisters and brothers in the Global South!

Students were very busy being farmers and CEO’s with our guest speaker Julie, from Development and Peace.

An awesome justice-themed Amazing Race game was held later in the evening. We then learned about the multi-national food industry with a screening of “Food Inc.” The second day of the fast was aimed at bringing awareness to the school community. Students were given the D&P postcards and petitions for their fellow classmates to fill out; all of them were! Our fast closed with a liturgy filled with song and a strong sense of community.

The final fundraising count will be finished shortly. We will post an update once the final numbers are in!
