EVERYBODY'S CHALLENGE - Jesuit Refugee Service | USA

The main result of my visit to El Salvador was a
set of policy guidelines, arrived at after several discussions...
the following six principles were agreed:
1. The principal criterion for any work must be
the needs of the refugees themselves;
2. The Society should be prepared to do pioneering
work, to look at what is not being done, to
see what new needs are not being met;
3. In existing work for refugees, the Society’s role
should be to collaborate if needed, in an attempt
to improve what is being done;
4. We should not aim at founding big new structures
ourselves;
5. We are at the service of the local Church but this
does not mean we should be dominated by it;
6. This is an important commitment for the Province
which can give new life to it.
