It’s so wonderful to see that COVID-19 is largely under control in Australia. We’ve been able to accomplish this, largely because we are wealthy enough to stay home.
In many countries around the world staying home = starving. That’s because they live day-to-day. Imagine if staying home meant not eating and not bringing home anything for your children to eat. What would you do?
Anglican Aid is providing an opportunity for us to give financially to help some of these people survive the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, can I encourage you to give to the appeal to help the Lake Rukwa region of Tanzania, where our link missionaries, Kevin and Karen Flanagan are serving.
If you give to the Anglican Aid appeal for the Diocese of Lake Rukwa in Tanzania you’ll be “providing handwashing supplies and food reserves for the 68 parishes in that diocese already suffering from a very poor harvest and potential famine. As churches remain open during this time of lockdown, they are important community meeting places and sources of assistance for people who are hungry and without income. Each bag of maize costs roughly $30AUD and beans cost roughly $90AUD per bag.”
