A Visit to Cochrane Recreation Centre

The pandemic restrictions, especially those placed on worker dormitories, had made interaction with migrant workers more difficult. Nevertheless, members of the Young Adults Committee were able to meet and converse with migrant workers as part of an initiative by Archdiocesan Commission for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People (ACMI). As many migrant workers were Muslims and the fasting period of Ramadan was coming to an end, ACMI organised a dinner event in Cochrane Recreation Centre that began once Muslim workers were able to break their fast. Young adult participants helped to distribute food and thank you cards, after which they had dinner together with participating migrant workers.

Project Funpack

Every month for six months, 40 households under their care would receive a different board game free of charge for their use. The goal was to promote interaction between family members while having fun in their own homes to alleviate some of the stress caused by pandemic restrictions. To help facilitate this process, 23 young adult volunteers demonstrated to the kids how to play these games and also checked in with them every month over a period of six months.
