Christian Aid Week in Natland and Oxenholme

The house-to-house collection raised £1,442 this year; a very creditable amount bearing in mind the adverse economic climate.  A further £182.37 will be claimed from the tax man under the Gift Aid scheme. Thank you to everyone who gave so generously.
And thank you too from the people of Soppexcca, a project in Nicaragua typical of the sort of project supported by Christian Aid. Here the people have managed to establish their own schools and medical centres by selling their coffee at a fair price via cooperatives developed by Christian Aid.
