Christian Aid Week As
the official agency of 40 denominations in the UK and
Ireland, Christian Aid enables people to do together what
they could never do by themselves .
It
supports work in over 60 countries world-wide enabling
poor people, regardless of their religion, to help
themselves. Working through local organisations in
those countries, Christian Aid is able to : · listen
to those people to understand what causes their poverty · fund
local projects that bring long-term benefits for poor people · give
aid promptly when emergencies arise · Campaign
so that their case is put to those who have the power to
change things During
Christian Aid Week every year about 350,000 volunteers in
the UK and Ireland collect money to help the world’s
poorest communities Please help this year's effort by
delivering and collecting donation envelopes in a street
near you. We
need plenty of volunteers as there are many roads in our
parish. If you are unable to commit yourself to a whole
road why not team up with a friend and share a street?
Although children can help with delivery of envelopes
please note that collectors must be at least 16 years
old. Last
year we managed to raise a total of £1,452.63 so please
do help if you possibly can. I can be contacted on 01622
674693 (after 6.00pm) for further details. Avril Majewski |
