The presenter for this reflection is Carmen Rosa Callomamani rsm. Carmen is a Sister of Mercy from Peru whose work centres around providing refugees and displaced people with protection and support for their needs. Carmen Rosa was born into a farming community in Puno, Peru, where she acquired her first language Aymara. Although fluent in her native language, she felt a great disadvantage when starting school as Spanish was the only language spoken. From this painful experience, her vocation as an educator was born. Carmen firmly believes that education, both formal and informal, is the key to system change. She is currently General Coordinator for the ‘Project of Vulnerable children’. Carmen's presentation continues our theme of journey with a meditation on migration and trafficking in persons.
