The season of Creation

Province of Pakistan

 1^st September to 4th October as the season of Creation and The synod on the Amazon started, we as the Religious of Jesus and Mary, our students, teachers were on fine passion to be actively involved. The climatic action, movement caught our attention to come together save our precious common homeland and its people.

Every day at assembly little ones brought messages, poems, songs and speeches to express their great love for the welfare for our common home. The children shared the school activities with their families and daily plantation took place at their homes, villages, streets, on roadside and the graveyard. They brought the pictures of the family tree which were placed on the school bulletin board. Through these little events and activities great joy and outpouring comments from parents have been incredible. Some children took great pride to bring plants and trees for the school.

It’s the little ones that inspired us to take this campaign to the grassroots level thus we planted many fruits and shady trees with the brickline’s families.  As we all know that the brickline’s families are away from the city so a shady tree was planted for each family. They take great pride to look after the trees like a family member. We also prayed together to bring awareness to families that climate emergency is real, Act Now!

Daily practice of serving God in all creation we have started a campaign to keep our surroundings clean. No to plastic bags and Yes to recycling and in our school we really see the fruit of this campaign to use the bin. Bulletins boards were prepared for this campaign and we consider it as a part of healthy curriculum. We are so grateful for this season of reflection, action we have shared. These moments have given all of us hope, inspiration to save the earth our common homeland. It has brought us closer to our mother earth and to each other.

International Peace day was observed and celebrated in our school with a great zeal and joy.

With great dedication Children had prepared poems, songs, speeches and little scripts to spread peace in the world and in our own country to make Pakistan a peaceful and better place for everyone. Little ones invited the senior girls and boys to join them to plant seeds of peace.

We observed 2 minutes silence to mobilize the inner peace. The program was ended by leaving C.J.M banner in the air with the message “Peace begins with a smile.” After national anthem children went to their classes. The entire program was disciplined and well arranged.

PREPARATORIA VASCO DE QUIROGA, TUZANTLA

CONCURSO DE CATRINAS

Con el objetivo de fomentar en los alumnos una consciencia ecológica en las diversas actividades realizadas durante el año, el pasado 1 de noviembre en la Preparatoria Vasco de Quiroga, ubicada en el municipio de Tuzantla, estado de Michoacán, México; donde hacen presencia algunas de nuestras hermanas Religiosas de Jesús-María, se tuvo por primera vez el “CONCURSO DE CATRINAS” (símbolo popular de la muerte), con material reciclado.

Cada catrina se organizó con sus compañeros, quienes trabajaron en conjunto para recolectar los materiales y con creatividad pensar en su vestuario. Algunos de estos materiales utilizados fueron: bolsas de sabritas, tapas y botellas de plástico (pet), corcholatas, papel periódico, hojas de árboles, papel de china utilizada en otra actividad, bolsas de nailo.

Los alumnos quedaron satisfechos con la actividad, de modo especial con la consciencia que casi todo el material que usan a diario lo puede utilizar/reciclar nuevamente y así se contamina menos y cuidamos esta que llamamos Casa Común donde todos habitamos.

Sharing our goods with the poor

Tree planting...

Convent oj Jesus and Mary School, SIALKOT, 

Province of Pakistan

The ancient city of Sialkot was once a flourishing agricultural area that was full of beautiful, green flowering trees, shrubs, flowers and crops especially wheat and rice.  The air was free from pollution and the skies were a clear blue. On bright days one could see the Kashmir Mountain peaks covered with snow.  The two rivers – Tavi and Chenab were life-giving for the surrounding environment and for fish.

With all this beauty, Sialkot has also become an industrial city.  As the growth of industry has increased around the world, Sialkot has been influenced by these effects.  Hence much cultivated land has been ruthlessly taken over for factories and residential areas.  This has caused much loss to the environment in many ways, including the uprooting of trees, less areas for cultivation, water polluted with chemicals and fresh air replaced by fog and bacteria, causing may diseases.

We, the Sisters of Jesus and Mary, who founded this school in 1856, have seen a drastic change over the years.  Inspired by our third Priority, Justice and Peace and the Integrity of Creation”, we have tried to animate our pupils to become more aware of this and begin a campaign to plant trees.  The pupils took this up enthusiastically by planting trees in their own homes and in the surrounding areas.  The school organized a “Tree Planting Day” and in addition, a parent donated thirty saplings to plant around the school.  This is an ongoing project and we plan to plant more trees in other areas of Sialkot this year.  May Sialkot once again, become a city free from pollution and gain its original beauty.
