One of the special things about St. Mary's is the Lourdes fund raising fortnight. During this period, girls think of all possible ways to get people to spend their money and support children to go to Lourdes in the summer. I went to Lourdes last summer too, to help the pilgrims from CA, the Catholic Association. It was definitely a unique experience - talking to, taking care of old people during day time and going out drinking, socialising with young people at night :D
Anyways, during our assembly about Lourdes, I read out a poem, written by Meg Spencer-Thomas after her visit to Lourdes. I thought I'd share it here because I do like it very much :)
Unsung Heroes
As the rich and famous sit there and swelling in their pride
They seem to have forgotten that what counts is what's inside.
