Video message of the Pope
Pope Francis sent a short video message to the meeting thanking ORT for its work. He said that this is a reflection of commitment and testimony based on the keywords: movement, volunteering, and meeting. “For a meeting to be truly human and not commercial, it must be free. To have a meeting there must be movement. In other words, you see, these three words mean something very human.
In thanking the management of the ORT schools that cooperate with Scholas, the Pope emphasizes that this is an intuition that has not yet reached its full potential but is very important for the future. In conclusion, the Pope thanked the Brazilian authorities for their support of this initiative.
