Sierra Leone On Monday
18th December 2006, a team of 8 people from St Wilfrid's church Horley
went to Sierra Leone, West Africa for a Christmas with a differ Their ages range from 16 to 75 and they joined 4 others from Mission Direct and St Georges Foundation who have long-term project links with Sierra Leone. St George's Foundation and Mission Direct make a difference to many lives in Sierra Leone. It is estimated that there are 3,000 children living on the streets of Freetown with twice as many boys as girls. What makes St Georges different to other street kids programmes, is that they focus on the most vulnerable; those under the age of 14 years. Instead of traditional Christmas in church celebrating the birth of Christ, the team from St.Wilfrid's , Horley were demonstrating his love by working in Sierra Leone to show these children that they are not forgotten by the rest of the world. They will be giving of their time to help build additional accommodation such that 100 of these children per year can be taken off the streets, counselled, receive medical attention and re-enter education. Your prayers and support would be welcomed for this and other ongoing projects in Sierra Leone. Mission Direct is a Christian Charity enabling volunteers (like you!) to travel and bring practical help and spiritual hope to those in desperate need. Those we serve have profound needs and sometimes the poverty is overwhelming. Yet together we can impact the lives of individuals and communities making a real difference.
St
Wilfrid's also has links in Zimbabwe
and Myanmar
