10.01.2022 "It seems that no pandemic or flood can slow these students down, said Helen Forde, CEO of Jesuit Mission. Xavier Jesuit school students are determined to study and do not give up. You can provide a child with access to a quality education, by purchasing a bicycle for them from Jesuit Mission’s Gifts for Change program.

06.01.2022 We are delighted to announce the completion of the Bridge of Happiness in Cambodia, Siem Reap! The new bridge provides easy access to the villages on each side of the river, as well as gives people safe access to the river for bathing. According to Fr Totet Banaynal SJ, the parish priest of St John the Apostle Catholic Church in Siem Reap, the bridge is a happy place where local people now congregate together for conversation and friendship. ... The bridge opened on the same day that Pope Francis released his latest encyclical, Fratelli Tutti which promotes fraternity and social friendships amongst all people. The Bridge of Happiness is living out Fratelli Tutti by bringing communities together.

01.01.2022 Xavier Jesuit School in Cambodia has reopened for students in grade 9, after flooding waters forced the school to close. Images from last week show staff and students arriving to school by boat. The flood has spoiled many rice fields, damaging the livelihoods of many Khmer villagers. However, the Khmer people demonstrate their resilience, by prioritising education and even playing in the flood waters.
