Charity for African Welfare and Development.

 

It is a great pleasure to welcome CAWD ( pronounced Card ) into the fold of A Ray of Hope and also that Pamela McClean has agreed to be our liaison and advisor for Nigeria.

CAWD brings together local knowledge of problems of African Welfare and Development with knowledge and resources from the wider community. It uses the Internet to bring the two together to enable change. CAWD's vision and strategies spring from the challenges and opportunities of this century. 

·      The Internet

·      Digital technologies - computers, phones, TV, radio, cameras and suchlike 

·      Inequalities of provision and opportunity  

·      Media channels enabling the rich to know more about the poor and the poor to know more about the rich

·      New opportunites for communication and collaboration - across continents and across cultures

·      The need for new approaches and solutions to the problems of African Welfare and Development 

 

Already planning has commenced to organise educational supplies deliveries, art and sporting competitions.

Jordan sends Thanks

Paige Kimberley
Jordan

Don,

Thank you so much. I have attached the letter for Heaton's Ireland. The school and the children will be absolutely delighted. One of the most remarkable things that they said was, how could their own country ignore them when another country wanted to help. This is such an important time when different religious groups are trying to widen the gap between the East and the West, to show that we all do care and can all work to a common goal.Don, I have now two people in Jordan that are helping facilitate this work.

Take care and thanks again,

Paige

Fleeces for Romania and Jordan.

Thank you to Ms Carol McAleese Heatons Lurgan and Heaton's
Ireland.
 

On behalf of the children in Romania and Jordan and A Ray of Hope could I thank Heaton's, Lurgan and Heaton's Ireland for their continuing support. Due to their generosity many children in Romania and Jordan will be a little warmed this forthcoming cold winter.
