Approximately 200 girls from Calvary Christian College participated in an awareness campaign for the 200+ girls who were abducted from their school in Nigeria more than a month ago. The campaign entitled “ #BringBackOurGirls” by Amnesty International saw the students organise a photo shoot to continue the awareness of this plight through the powers of Social Media. The students have taken up this cause as they feel very little was initially done by the Nigerian government to bring these girls back home to their families, and hope that through the power of social media they can make a difference. The Calvary students held up placards with the words “Sister”, “Niece”, “Friend”, “Daughter” and “Save our Girls” to highlight how a community has been impacted by this travesty and loss of their family members and friends. The photograph also aims to drive home what it would feel like for a community to lose 200 young people so suddenly. They also hope that Western Governments will continue to intervene in this situation. Let’s all promote this cause and see how many Likes we can achieve so that more will be done in the interests of social justice. The core group of 20 Amnesty International students from Calvary Christian College meet each week to discuss issues raised by Amnesty International via their website and other issues faced by disadvantaged people around the world. Drivers of the campaign were Dayna Pearton (Year Twelve), and Taylor Birtchnell (Year Eleven). Please Share. Calvary Christian College, a Childcare to Year 12 school, believes in promoting social justice and freedom of individuals and produce globally responsible citizens. We all have the responsibility of caring for others as God has commanded us to do, in and through the scriptures.
