When Sister of Mercy Mollie Wright retired from her job as a headmistress and made the decision to volunteer her time to help others, little did she know she would have a defining impact on a young refugee mother struggling at one of the lowest points of her life. Sister Mollie, the principal of Mercedes College from 1978 to 1996, has devoted countless hours helping young mothers living at MercyCare’s Coolock Units in Wembley to further their life skills and education. For eighty seven year-old, Sister Mollie, volunteering is about giving a helping hand to people who desperately need it. “I’m especially interested in helping refugees because when I was principal at Mercedes College the terrible genocide in Rwanda was taking place and our school ran a fundraising drive for those affected,” she said. It was that link that drove her to help 24-year-old mother-of-two, Ruby*, a refugee from Rwanda. Ruby had spent 15 years living in a refugee camp in Rwanda before arriving in Australia with her family three years ago.
