The Trees provide us with oxygen, shade, and a healthy environment, while fruits give us essential nutrients.
In this event, the Oblates in Bangladesh encouraged our students to plant more trees and enjoy good fruits. It also encouraged them to love and protect our Mother Earth.

UN Unveils New Roadmap for Eradicating Poverty Beyond Growth June 24th, 2026
This month, the UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights officially presented a landmark blueprint to the UN Human Rights Council: “Roadmap for Eradicating Poverty Beyond Growth.”
The new report calls for a fresh approach to ending extreme poverty—one that prioritizes human dignity, economic justice, and environmental sustainability.
The Roadmap for Eradicating Poverty Beyond Growth argues that reducing poverty requires more than increasing economic output. It highlights the need for policies that ensure basic economic security, strengthen care systems, create meaningful work, and address growing inequality.
At OMI JPIC, our commitment to human dignity reminds us that every person deserves access to the resources and opportunities needed to flourish. We invite you to learn more about this important initiative and the actions being proposed to help create a more just world.
Visit Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns‘ website for details about the roadmap and multiple opportunities to take action.
