I am a Lay Preacher (Reader) in the COE in a parish consisting of 3 churches.
I am a successful business woman, who is happily married, having raised four children, which have then gone on to produce eight wonderful grandchildren!
In a world where a child dies from poverty-related causes every three seconds, it's so easy to feel there is nothing we can do. That someone like me, a woman of 64 years of age, recently retired, is too old, too feeble, and has nothing left too give!
Well, how wrong I was... I read about Compassion several years ago; the fact that you can change the world one child at a time, I sponsor two children and my church is sponsoring another in Kenya.
I thought I could do more, so in June this year 2018, I am going to Kenya to do a 42km (26 miles) walk which hopefully will help at least 10 children in health and welfare, education and Christian upbringing. And will also provide Solar Powered energy for the village to become self sub straining.
If you can, please donate, as helping just one child can really make a difference with your help.
