Harvest Appeal: An update
Our harvest appeal was mentioned in the Vietnam Laos Cambodia Medical Scientific Aid News Bulletin (www.msavlc.co.uk). Here’s what they wrote:
Well done, Immanuel! The congregation of Immanuel Church, Swindon has raised the amazing sum of £3,300 in their Harvest Appeal to support the work of Rostitus Cheng in Phnom Penh. Many of you will remember the story of Rostitus and his wonderful work helping children who live on a rubbish dump. The money raised by Immanuel will not only fund the training of staff in basic primary health care (such as how to deal with eye and ear infections, burns, cuts and other injuries sustained by the children as they search through mountains of rubbish), but will also pay for the provision of first aid supplies for the next three years. A big thank you goes to all the congregation and in particular to the World Concerns Committee who recommended MSAVLC as their chosen charity for this year’s appeal.
Threshold’s annual sponsored sleep-out
Remember Threshold’s annual sponsored sleep-out which takes place on Friday 2nd December, here in our car park. Steve Brain has a sponsor form for Phil Smith (of Threshold), so if you would like to make a donation to this very worthwhile charity, whilst you sleep safely and warmly in your own beds, sign up on the form!
