We have chosen a World of Gifts Project through the Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund as our Christmas Stocking Project.
We will start our Christmas Stocking Project on the first Sunday in Advent (December 3rd) and it will continue to Christmas Day. Our project will be buying goats for Community Health Workers in Malawi.
You are invited to drop your gold coins (Loonies or Toonies) into the Christmas stocking at the back of the church or to put a special donation into the collection plate labelled “Goats Project”. Money designated in the collection or collected in the stocking from now to Christmas Day will be sent to the PWRDF to buy goats for Community Health Workers in Africa.
Community Health Workers are the backbone to healthy families in parts of rural Malawi. To supplement their small income, CHWs receive three goats to breed, milk or eventually sell. Each of our gifts of $120 will provide three goats and appropriate training to a CHW working with Partners In Health in Malawi.
