Compassion in Action
Nabiha's community raffle with heart
Nabiha, a local café owner, hosted a small raffle in her family‑run business to support Caritas Australia’s Bangladesh Training Midwives. With a donated hamper and the generosity of her customers, she helped raise $250 — and in a delightful surprise, she won the raffle herself.
“I wanted to support Caritas, so I purchased a ticket,” she said. “Customers thought it was a good cause and bought tickets too.”
Adelaide's Caritas Market
The Holy Family Parish in Adelaide held their very own Caritas Market held at The Nativity Catholic Church in Aberfoyle Park. The day brought together the whole community, with stalls offering puzzles, toys, plants, bric‑a‑brac, and delicious homemade cakes — all contributing to their fundraising total.
A lively sausage sizzle kept everyone smiling, and live music from one of the parish families added a warm and joyful atmosphere.
