Yesterday was the start of Fairtrade Fortnight and thanks to
all the folks who came to our Fairtrade meal which raised £196.69 for
Traidcraft Exchange (the charity which supports the work of Traidcraft). If you
are interested to find out more about the ongoing debate about the problems associated
with the palm oil trade you might like to dip into this website .
Our thoughts are now focussed on the Cajamarca Ceilidh this
coming Saturday at Strode Crescent Baptist Church. Do come along and enjoy a
bit of barn dancing and singing (not forgetting your generous contribution to
the Cajamarca Connection!). The ceilidh starts at 6pm and finishes at 9pm so
that it’s not too late for families.
For anyone who has managed to avoid hearing about the
Cajamarca Connection, it is a project being organised by the Sheppey
Poverty/Justice Group, a Churches Together in Sheppey initiative to raise £1000
by the end of 2014 for the Tearfund development project in Cajamarca, Peru. For
