I recently led worship at St
Andrew's with some resources provided by "All We Can" (MRDF). This was
such a blessing. The resources were for the "Inspirational Women
Appeal" and focused on women of Jharkhand, India who struggle to access
education, have limited control over their lives and potentially experience
discrimination and domestic violence.
Dr Jill Barber, Vice-President of the
Methodist Conference, presented a BBC Radio 4 Appeal recently in support of “All
We Can’s” work. She is a keen supporter of “All We Can” and was inspired to
support this appeal after visiting one of MRDF’s projects in India in November
2015. If you wish to listen to the appeal, you can catch it again on Radio 4 i-player.
"All We Can" partners
organisations in eight of the world's poorest countries. Through effective partnerships,
they help people in some of the world's poorest communities find solutions to poverty
and become all that they can.
A huge THANK YOU to St Andrew’s
for the generous donation (at short notice) of £142.20!! This is very good news
for the women and their families. This is what the gift of £142.20 could pay
for:
£15.00
could train a woman to grow in her confidence to use her
voice
and bring about change.
£75.00
could provide 3 women with a goat each, enabling their 3
families
to have a secure and on-going income (£25.00 per goat)
£45.00
could train a group of women in vital life areas such as
health,
nutrition and education.
I must admit after sharing worship and seeing
the film of India and its people I have a yearning to go back there again to
see the children at the school and orphanage in Southern India that our churches
have generously supported in the past.
