refugees

South Sudan, Burundi and Somalia are some of the toughest and most dangerous places on earth for an aid agency to work. Yet, through ALWS, our Australian and New Zealand Lutheran family is there.

From 17 to 23 June, people from all around the world observed Refugee Week for 2019.

Most Walk My Way participants found treading one course in the ALWS community event enough of a challenge. But Pastor Peter Hage now has three 25km treks under his soles – and is eyeing off a fourth.

On 13 April more than 400 Lutherans and their friends, who ‘walked my way’ in Adelaide, Darwin and Melbourne, made it possible for 5600 refugee children to go to school.

Twenty-three LCA pastors, including three bishops, are among more than 280 people who will walk up to 26km in an Australia-wide effort to support refugee chlidren to go to school.

Members of our LCA/NZ family are rushing to be part of the ALWS Walk My Way event which raises money to help refugee children in camps in Kenya to go to school. And it’s not too late to get involved.
