Peter Pilt on the Political Spot about National Others Week

Posted on Blog · July 02, 2013 10:00 AM
Peter Pilt is the National Director of Global Care, the social justice and disaster relief arm of Christian Outreach Centre. In this interview with the ACL's Katherine Spackman, Peter talks about Global Care's launch of its second annual National Others Week to be held in November as part of a campaign to remind Australians that “Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile”.

National Others Week: 29 October to 4 November

Posted on Blog · August 29, 2012 10:00 AM
Global Care Australia, the social justice and relief arm of Christian Outreach Centre (COC), is launching the first annual National Others Week (NOW) as part of a campaign aimed at developing a greater awareness of, and appreciation for, the people around us in our community.



NOW will run from October 29 to November 4, and will encourage Australians to focus on other people rather than themselves for seven days.



According to Global Care, dedicating one week a year to reminding people to care for others, is a “compassionate and humane answer to the violence, materialism and selfishness of our society.”



The Hon Kevin Andrews MP, Shadow Minister for Families, Housing and Human Services, launched NOW in a ceremony at Parliament House in Canberra last Thursday, which was also attended by ACL’s Chief-of-Staff Lyle Shelton.



“Global Care’s motto is ‘mates helping mates’, and during this very special week, I want to encourage people everywhere to look beyond their own four walls, and just ‘be there’ for someone else – to be a ‘mate’ to them,” Mr Andrews said.
