Archbishop Dunn Gathers with D&P To Welcome Solidarity Partner
Archbishop Dunn met with Ramy Chan, Executive Director of Youth Resource Development Program (YRDP) in Cambodia, at a potluck dinner with members of Development and Peace on March 17. YRDP is a grassroot partner of Development and Peace. Ramy was touring Atlantic Canada to share about her work with Cambodian young people. Her organization works to empower youth to exercise their civil and political rights and to strengthen their critical thinking skills. This allows them to work for social change in their communities. Ramy also spoke with parishioners at the Cathedral Basilica of St Mary and with staff members of the diocese at an event on March 23.
Development and Peace-Caritas Canada is the official international development organization of the Catholic Church in Canada and the Canadian member of Caritas Internationalis. Ramy's visit was part of a solidarity tour sponsored by Development and Peace which gave Canadian Catholics a chance to learn more about how their solidarity impacts partners in the Global South.
