This is Margaret Kehoe, Queensland Presentation Sister, with some of the children she shares her life with in a poor shanty town on the outskirts of Lima, Peru, South America

"Our challenge as Presentation Sisters in Lima is to be a presence amongst the poor, living as they live, experiencing life from their perspective. Flowing from this, we focus our energies on changing the mentalities and structures which keep the women so oppressed. Training in work skills, education, manual crafts, self esteem, dance, aerobics, alternative medicines, etc, help them to discover their own worth and dignity as women and this does change the quality of their lives and the lives of their children."

"My name is Carmel Hodgkinson and I am a Presentation Sister in Murgon, Queensland. I have been teaching "little ones" for over forty years. At present, I am teaching at St Joseph's Primary School, Murgon. As Nano Nagle heard "the call" to help the children of Ireland, I also heard a "call" - "Suffer the little children to come unto Me". This ministry has been a labour of love for me."

Carmel is pictured here with some of her young students

Vianney Surawski is a Presentation Sister also in the Parish of Murgon. After retiring from school and music teaching ministry, Vianney is now engaged in parish activities - Visitation of the Hospital and Castra (the Retirement Home of the Aged at Murgon), Visiting the Sick in their homes, being with Senior Citizens who come from surrounding towns for Day Care, Meals on Wheels, and Music Ministry.
