Twenty5
Ethiopia
It’s been 25 years since Michael Buerk’s groundbreaking
reports from Ethiopia which drew attention to a generation of
devastation caused by the famine of 1984. Archbishop John Sentamu
is asking Churches to support Twenty5 and raise money to help
give children a family, an education and the skills to earn
a living in Ethiopia. For details of how you can be involved,
please see http://www.twenty5ethiopia.org/pack.htm. Maybe we
could use Christmas activities as an opportunity to raise funds
for this project. Please speak to Nigel, Phil or Denise if this
is something you’d like to do
