06/01/2020

As a Jesuit educational establishment founded on the premise of multicultural engagement and bringing people together – regardless of ethnicity or race – all of us here at TBC are deeply saddened by the injustice against the Black community. While the whole world is going through an extremely challenging time with the pandemic, a heightened level of support and peace is necessary, yet the ongoing problem of racial disparity has added to an already blazing fire.

“Ok! We have to stop playing with the kids now.

This is what we were told right before we left the Bethel Foundation in Beijing last Saturday.
