We have \u2018households\u2019 at the school. These are extended homeroom groups. Boys and girls are separate, and kids from each year group are together\u2013staying in the household for the whole time of their school career. So they are like little fraternities and sororities.<\/div>\n

My group of fifteen boys went to help a charity called \u2018Clean Start.\u2019 Begun by a group of local Catholics, it is a refuge for homeless people to go and have a shower, get new second hand clothes, wash their clothes, pick up their mail and try to get back on their feet.<\/div>\n

Not much in a needy world, but a chance for the boys and girls to see how the other half live, make a contribution, and most of all, to learn how much their contribution is needed.<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
