Thank you

for supporting Trócaire

María, Patricia and Maya are brought together by their bravery in the face of fear. Patricia’s family’s home was stolen after her father died tragically, María’s family watched their home burning with all of their possessions inside, and Maya is now living in one of Lebanon’s refugee camps after

her devastated family fled their home to escape the war.

Celebrate them with us by highlighting the variety of cultures in your own school, though

baking or making, sweet or savoury!
