1. Today we are here to convince you that the organization Caritas is worthy of becoming the “Disciple of the Century” award. Through this wonderful organizations work, they live out the radical teachings of Jesus. The three teachings of Jesus we have chosen are:
• Firstly, the preferential option for the poor, sick and marginalized.
• Secondly, the dignity of the human person
• And lastly, social justice.
We believe that these teachings are essential for the creation of the kingdom of God in our world. Caritas strives to end poverty, uphold dignity and promote justice, so they are perfect to become a role model for Jesus’ teachings.

Caritas, like Jesus, believe that every human being is created in the image and likeness of God and therefore has inherent dignity. They think that no human being should have their dignity or freedom compromised.
The dignity of people, independent of ethnicity, creed, gender, sexuality, age or ability, is inspiration for their work.
This teaching guides Caritas’ work as they believe that poverty, hunger, oppression and injustice make it impossible to live a life commensurate with this dignity. Therefore, all their programs are people-centered with empowerment at their heart. People are never treated as commodities nor as mere recipients of
