The New Windsor Presentation Sisters are pleased to have had their Serving with the Sisters service week, June 6-10. The week began with a visit at the United Nations hosted by Sister Elsa Muttathu and IPA volunteers Olivia and Nicole. Participants learned about global issues and how we can work and educate others for systemic change. After sitting in on part of a session we were joined for lunch by NGO Executive Assistants Victoria Larsen, UNANIMA International; Cecilie Keren, Sisters of the Charity of Good Shepherd; and Teresa Blumenstein, Loretto community, along with IPA volunteers Olivia and Nicole. The remainder of the week we served in Newburgh at Newburgh Ministries and Habitat for Humanity.
“One of the highlights of my first United Nations visit was lunch with five other inspiring young women passionate about social justice and working hard to make a difference. We talked about how we can all do our small part as teachers, youth ministers and med students to make a change in the world,” explains Samantha Pashel, volunteer.
