Christian Aid Week

Kids Club at Church House has been supporting Christian Aid's work in Guatemala (through the Presbyterian Church Of Wales Quinquennial Appeal).

Our Christian Aid United service featured a video clip of Chistian Aid at work  in Sierra Leone through its local partner, the Methodist Church.   By setting up local Village Development Committees, people are taking more control in making decisions that affect their own lives. The project in Gbap is reclaiming land which was destroyed in the 14 year civil war, and creating a centre for agricultural production, education and innovation.

Area Secretary Marie McNeil  brought with her Moses, a Christian Aid worker from Ethiopia.  Here a priority is to enable farmers to make the most of what little rainfall exists.
