“Thank you to everyone involved for your support and the £122.30 which will be put towards a shelterbox to be sent to a disaster relief area around the world. Your support is very much appreciated.”
Signed Douglas Brown (Secretary).
We have also received a letter from the project we supported in Nagaland, which reads:-
"My name is Supong Jamir. My wife and I work with the underprivileged children projects called the “Lighthouse” in Dimapur, Nagaland, which is in North East India. Thank you so much for the money that you have sent towards the needs and the work here. It has been used to buy a water purifier, which is now able to produce enough safe and clean drinking water for the 40+ children. Besides this, it has also been used to buy study tables and chairs, sports goods and educational toys and books for the children. The children are overjoyed with their new blessings and they want to say thank you. You have made their lives better this way. We pray the Almighty Lord God will bless you in a very special way." (There are some photos which Supong sent of the project which are displayed on the Notice Board at the back of the church.
