Harvest Thanksgiving 2011
Our Harvest Festival this year will be on Sunday October 2nd.
We will be supporting
FARM-Africa’s current appeal
GIVE POVERTY THE BOOT!
Come and join us!
FARM-Africa is a charity which provides the training and support that poor rural communities, mainly in East Africa, need to identify and implement appropriate solutions to many of the key problems they face. Families are directly supported to help work themselves out of poverty through improved ways to manage their crops, livestock, forests and access to water. FARM-Africa works at local level but with an eye on impacts at national or regional level.
Right now in Africa millions of farmers are praying for a good crop. With FARM-Africa’s support they can gain the tools and skills to reap better harvests and to live self-sufficiently with dignity and hope.
We hope to have a speaker from FARM-Africa and to fill a large number of colourful wellies with Harvest gifts and money.
