Case Studies - Peter (Solomon Islands) - Primary

A case study featuring Peter, a young man living in the Solomon Islands whose life was changed with the support of Caritas Australia. This resource includes a variety of accompanying activities and printable worksheets for use in primary school classrooms. Activities range from comprehension-based reflections and discussions to media analysis. This resource also makes explicit reference to Lent. Students learn about how Peter is thrilled to now have clean water on tap at his boarding school. Long walks to unsafe water sources were tiring for Peter, who lives with a disability. With more free time and fewer illnesses caused by dirty water, Peter can fulfil his hope of focusing on his studies, providing him with brighter future.

Peter's story was first published for Project Compassion 2019.
