Christian Aid Week - final total - thank you!

This year Christian Aid is appealing for funds to help people in Burundi push back against poverty. Malnourishment and poverty affect more than 70% of people there.

 

              Mark's virtual bike rides along some Norwegian fjords attracted spectators,                           
but the real draw was the offering of Sue's and Susie's plants - and the Grandma's biscuits. 

Total distance covered: 202 virtual km with 4500 meters of virtual climbing.  That took 14.5 hours riding time.

 

The final total donated, including Gift Aid, is £1679.24.  A big thank you to everyone for their support.

The money raised will help ensure people get the skills and knowledge they need to fulfil their hopes and ambitions.  £10 will provide one person with the training that supports their family to set up a small business. That's how Aline got back on her feet again!  She was able to set up as a grocery wholesaler. Today, she can afford food, clothes, and essential healthcare for her family.
