CHRISTIAN AID
Nineteen people collected door-to-door
during Christian Aid Week, throughout the village –
including Weston, Nursted and Ditcham. A big thank-you
to all of them, and to all who gave – raising a grand
total of £595.91p.
We do this because we know that we are
the lucky ones and out in sub-Saharan Africa, Latin
America, Asia and the Middle East there are millions
living in poverty, for whom finding clean water to drink
is a daily struggle or failure of the harvest means
failure to feed your family and, ultimately, starvation.
And I also believe that we, all the
churches together, must work for change that eradicates
the causes of poverty; we seek to achieve dignity,
justice and freedom for all, regardless of faith or
nationality.
So I truly hope that Buriton will
continue its long tradition of supporting this national
charity and that all of us will want to give through
collecting and donating. Christian Aid Week 2010 is from
May 9th – 15th.
