Many, many thanks to  the staff and students of  Mazenod College, Perth, Western Australia.
The Mazenod community has donated its 2007 Mission Day AUD$12,000 proceeds 
to help poor migrant worker families in  Zhaoqing, China.
The generosity of Mazenod College  reflects the spirit of Saint Eugene de Mazenod
who established the Oblate Congregation to bring Good News to the poor
 
Every cent of the $12,000 will go directly to help poor people  in Zhaoqing ("Jow-Ching")
 by providing education for school-less children,
 and giving medical assistance to the sick who cannot afford doctor/hospital

Poor people who live in places like these:
