Br Kevin Mascarenhas is a director of Integration and Support Unit at Edmund Rice Heritage Centre.
Br Kevin has prepared two power point slides for our weekly Friday Reflection.
He started off with showing a power point presentation called “Global Village”.
The presentation told us that if you take all population in the world and get a ratio of all nationalities/ background/ education/religion and apply it to 100 people.
The presentation was very interesting, educational and at the same time shocking. It was sad to hear that only one person out of one hundred would hold a degree, six out of hundred would be wealthy etc.
The presentation was open to the comments and opinions:
Moira mentioned that there was a big gap between the ratios in relation to religion.
Br. Kevin commented on the amount of people starving and the amount of people who can’t read billion;
Ann Nolan mentioned the lack of Education; for some people in Ireland it is still a privilege to have a degree.
‘Health and Poverty are linked’ –Ann Nolan.
Br. Kevin finished today’s reflection with another power point presentation on the song You raise me up, which was sang by Brian Kennedy and Tracy Cambell-Nation and accompanied by relevant slides.
The slides show the beauty of nature, mountains, lakes, canyons etc and the poverty, hope, believe and love.
After the presentations we have enjoyed cups of tea/coffee with doughnuts and sweet bread with raisins.
Two power point presentations can not be uploaded but if you are interested we can email them to you. Just send an email with the request.
