Connecting Kids to JusticeDay 2

Our God Comforts!God has the power to comfort us when we are feeling sad or scared.

God wants us to do the same for others. Comfort can be a hug, help, kind words or actions—anything that will make someone feel better and safe.

Catholic Social Teaching

As Catholics, we believe work is important and it is important to treat workers with respect.

There are many ways we can help workers and bring them comfort, even if they live far away in places like Nepal!

.

One thing we can do is buy products, like chocolate and coffee, that have a Fair Trade label on them.

Like this one:

When we buy products that have the Fair Trade label, we know the people who grew or made the products got paid a good wage. They got enough money for their work so they can take care of themselves

and their family.

We Can Make a DifferenceCatholic Relief Services

(CRS) has a special Fair Trade program that supports farmers, growers and communities with money, tools and training.

When we donate money this week, it will be given to CRS to continue their work on their Fair Trade programs.
