Hey All Family and Friends, I have decided to join Xavier's Cook Off fundraising campaign to help raise money for the Jesuit Mission COVID Emergency Fund in India. I was recently in India and experienced first hand the disadvantages to health many people in India have. Children my age not getting the right foods or food at all, little education and many more disheartening things. All i ask that you help, not me but the other millions of people suffering in this time that we are all going through together. Thank You very much. Cheers Freddy    

The students of Xavier College, Kew, have decided to run a “Cook-Off” as a fundraising activity for our annual Social Justice Week (August 31st - September 6th).

The theme of this year’s Social Justice Week is “standing in solidarity with those who have been cast to the margins.” It is critical during these times of global crisis, that we are able to look outwards and beyond our personal struggles. “Generosity is the antidote to self-absorption,” advised our Rector, Fr Chris Middleton SJ. Social Justice Week invites us to spread awareness, to give back to the marginalised, and to enjoy a week full of fun activities. 

Our goal is to raise funds for the Jesuit Mission COVID Emergency Fund in India (or area of greatest need) by getting students involved in cooking a lovely meal for their families. Students are sponsored by friends and family alike, to prepare and cook a meal at any time throughout the week. We encourage everybody to give it a go in the spirit of the occasion. Let’s get cooking!
