On July 21, Max and over 100 teachers, slept outside to raise awareness of homeless people and to help raise money for St Vincent de Paul who look after the homeless people.
When Max arrived, he had to register and get his name tag. Max wore the tag around his neck. The cord was a bit long so he had to be very careful.
After arriving at the Easter Creek Raceway with Mrs M, Max got a sheet of cardboard that he was to use as his bed for the night. He was gald that Mrs M had brought a spare sleeping bag for him to sleep in.
Later that night he heard many people talk about how sad it was that so many people did not have a home where they could sleep at nightime.
Max saw many of his old friends including his friend who took him to Egypt
and some from Mary MacKillop!! Max got very excited when he met so many people who remembered who he was.
The next morning, Max woke up. It was so cold there was ice on the cars!!. Max joined everyone in a Liturgy.
As Max left to go back to school with Mrs M, he felt very sad that some people had to sleep outside all the time because they did not have a home.
