The 8 Contributions



We have been learning about the 8 contributions Christians can make to the world. In this presentation, you will find reflections of how I can be an instrument of peace for each contribution and some different words describing each contrast. One thing that I found hard during this lesson, was how I can apply these values to my actions on how I can be an instrument of peace for God and the world.

July 1917:
I have been sent off on a troopship with an army crew to France. I am one of over 100 conscientious objectors being held in prison for refusing to fight in the world war. I have decided that it is wrong and unjust. I don’t want to be sent off, but I have no choice.. My friends and I are all placed in uniforms while getting abused by officers and volunteer soldiers.


Finally we are in France. Now for the harshest method of punishment: “Field Punishment.” I feel angry and anxious at the same time because I know what is going to happen. The officers and guards dragged me and my friend across the field. Our feet scrapped on the mud bruising our heels and toes. My heart was beating and pumping so fast, that it felt like I might have a heart attack. But I am brave and have strong confidence in myself that war is wrong.


They tied me to an old slanted post. My hands bound tightly behind my aching back and my painful knees and feet bound in all weathers. The thick tough rope cut into my skin. As my head bowed down my neck ached. Seeing my poor friend suffering in the same way, made me want to throw up. He tried to talk to me but mumbled when he did. His dirty face covered in mud, cramps all over his body, red thick blood dripping down from all the cuts from his feet and hands. I felt sorry for him. I waited and waited and waited in the cold heavy pouring rain. Suddenly, there's strong vociferous thunder. I am all heavily drenched from head to toe. I sighed as I realised that I couldn’t have a shower, couldn’t even change from my soggy clothes into warm dry ones. I just wished I was at home with my family.
The soggy ground had mud everywhere. There was hardly any grass or bark on field. I felt wretched, upset and cold. Finally it ended. The rope loosened from my hands which were all purple from the icy freezing cold weather.


1 April 1918:
I am glad that I am now in hospital in Boulogne, where I am diagnosed with having heavy mental weakness from my determination not to fight.  Being in that crazy war was very different to my imagination of what I thought it would be like.


1918:
I am the happiest man alive right now .I have been sent home from hospital. I am happily married and have two gorgeous sons. I guess I will never forget what happened to me in France, 1917.

My Refugee Presentation

This is a presentation about Refugees. In this presentation, it will talk and show everything about refugees and where they come from, where do most refugees stay?, when is refugee day?, what is a refugee? and how can we help refugees.



During this presentation and learning time, I learnt that estimated that 50% of refugees are under the age of 18.
My challenge for this presentation was trying to find and pick up the knowledge about refugees.

Report on Oscar Romero

92df67b8dbe5e1a8eec62952fc209641.jpg


Oscar Romero was a Bishop of the Catholic Church in El Salvador who later served as the fourth Archbishop of San Salvador. He was born on 15th August 1917 in Ciudad Barrios, El Salvador. When he turned one, he was baptised into the Catholic Church by Fr. Cecilio Morales. He lived with his Father, Mother, 5 brothers and his 2 sisters. Oscar’s passion was to fight for the poor and oppressed. He had a friend named Rutilio Grande. Rutilio Grande died protesting against injustice. Oscar Romero’s passion changed because of the death of Rutilio Grande. Oscar decided to protest too.


Oscar Romero spoke out against poverty, social justice and torture. He helped the poor by saying speeches, organising peace marches, praying and blessing them. While he was helping the poor, he was also annoying the Government because they did not like it when people spread news and information about protesting against poverty and injustice and the Government wanted power. The news was being spread by radio and church.


On March 24th 1980, Oscar Romero was saying mass in a chapel. When he was saying it, he was brutally murdered with a gun by the Government. Oscar was announced a martyr by Pope Francis on 3rd February 2015. After the death of Oscar Romero, more violence happened. 40 people were killed and many injured at his funeral. Oscar Romero was buried in the Metropolitan Cathedral of San Salvador. One of Oscar’s quotes is
“There are many things that can only be seen through eyes that have cried.”
