Last year, Madeleine Sophie gave us a gift. A few days after celebrating the 25th May, the Sister-Headmistress of the Chalet School called me to meet a family. I saw them coming through the courtyard, accompanied by another Sister; their stay would only be for a short time, a few months at most…Their names and their language reminded us of exotic, legendary places. But there was nothing more real and tangible than their own history and what they had lived through. There was no place for questions, whys and wherefores.
El año pasado, Madeleine Sophie nos dio un regalo. Pocos días después de celebrar el 25 de mayo, la Hna. directora del colegio Chalet me llamó para conocer a una familia. Los vi cruzar el patio acompañados de otra hermana, su permanencia será por poco tiempo, unos meses nada más… Sus nombres y su idioma nos remontaban a lugares exóticos, de leyenda. Pero nada más real y presente que su propia historia y lo que les había tocado vivir.

Background
As Religious of the Sacred Heart, the search for justice, peace and the integrity of creation cuts across all dimensions of our life. We want it to be a benchmark for discernment in the choice of our relationships, projects and commitments. We want to continue to walk with young people. Many of them are engaged in justice and are concerned about the future of our common home. We need to be with all of them in their search for God, for the meaning and value of life.

Background
Throughout the 20th century, Lima grew in population, production, employment, education, and health; these changes also brought cases of marginalisation among populations, in particular among internal migrants.
The project is set in the suburb of Lima in the Cerro (hill) del San Pedro - El Agustino, a slum which counts a high number of internal migrants. This is where the RSCJ community has chosen, in 2008, to implement its Educational Institution "Mater Admirabilis".
