Students from De La Salle Catholic College, Cronulla, will see what it is like to live on rations as part of an event that shines a light on the plight of refugees.
The school’s year 12 Studies of Religion students are taking part in the Ration Challenge, which coincides with World Refugee Day (June 20).
Schoolchildren and teachers are invited to eat like a refugee as part of the challenge, which runs June 13-19, and get sponsorship to raise much-needed funds to help children and families threatened by conflict and disaster around the world.
Every student registered by their teacher receives a ration pack in the mail, containing the same quantities of rice, beans, chickpeas, lentils, fish, oil and flour, as distributed to Syrian refugees in camps in Jordan.
