Just Christmas Update

Just Christmas was a massive success this year – well done everybody!
In total we raised over £32,000 for children at Sholapur School, Maharastra. We presented a big cheque to Joseph D’Souza (Executive Director of OM India and International President of the Dalit Freedom Network) on the 20th February at our morning family service. Joseph thanked everyone for their donations, encouraging them that ‘this money will make a real difference in the lives of Dalit children in Sholapur.’ Check out www.justchristmas.org.uk for more info on how previous campaigns have changed lives in Maharastra.
A special ‘well done’ to the kids at mbc, who in total raised £125 to feed Dalit children. Someone was so impressed at the mbc kids’ fundraising efforts and their heart for the poor that they doubled the children’s money, giving £250 in all, which allows us to feed 5 Dalit children for a year. When inter:act visit Sholapur in April, they hope to meet some of these children and bring back some photos and stories to share.
