There will be a second collection next weekend 9th / 10th May for SCIAF’s emergency appeal on behalf of Nepal. “…when we see pictures of those suffering the consequences of devastating earthquakes, we have been moved in recent days by the plight of the earthquake victims in Nepal. We undoubtedly feel that we would like to do something to help. SCIAF, has been quick to respond and has sent £50,000 immediately to its sister agency Caritas Nepal and opened an on-line emergency appeal. There has been an excellent response to this appeal and hopefully this will continue”.
