Around 60 year 12 students
from St Mary's College in Adelaide
braved the cold of an early spring night last month.
They were kept warm by just
a cardboard box, a sleeping bag and food served on biodegradable plates donated
by Eco Party Box.
The students were taking part in a Winter Sleep Out to raise awareness of and experience for the themselves the life of homelessness in South Australia.

The
four year 12 students organising the event were focused on preparing a healthy
and sustainable meal, representative of the
menu from the Vincentian homeless centre on Whitmore square, Adelaide, which the girls
visited with their Religion class. They also had a goal of maintaining the
theme of "ecological
spirituality".We were delighted to be able to donate our products to help raise awareness for a good cause.
Judging by the pictures
they had a great time and we think they would make great role models for the cause.
