CHRISTMAS APPEAL
Whilst the children who attend our three primary schools in Bangladesh look smart in their Christmas outfits, they come from some of the poorest homes in Bangladesh. They simply do not have the money to buy Christmas gifts. Furthermore, without our help they would not have an education and many would not know about the Christian faith.A kind gift of £5 is enough to buy a child a warm meal and gift to share God's love and to make Christmas a more special time.
With your help we can share God's love, one child at a time...
WHY GIVE?
The schools in Amagram, Nabagram and Kaligram are run as a faith ministry and income is barely enough to pay for teachers salaries and certainly not enough for building repairs or new furniture. As Christian schools, it is the teachers and Trustees wish, to make Christmas a special time of celebration and to demonstrate God's love and care to each student.Whilst we celebrate Christmas with lavish decorations in centrally heated houses, once school breaks up the children spend their Christmas in bare wooden huts with poor insulation from the winter weather. Many will sleep on soil floors with blankets.
Matthew 25:35-36 - "for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was in prison and you came to Me".
WHY NOW?
The Christmas appeal begins in the summer each year, in order to enable us to make plans and ensure the children receive their meals and gifts in time for the end of term Pre-Christmas celebrations in mid December.
Donations can be quickly made via online banking or PayPal, with a few clicks on a mobile phone.
Our school is attended by children of all faiths. Your gift however small will make a difference.
URGENT NEED:
In the present economic climate, small charities like ours have seen real declines in income. We have had to close our schools in recent years and are praying in faith for God's provision to enable the schools to continue to express God's love to the poor in Bangladesh.
Your donations to this appeal will fund the Pre-Christmas events for the children at the 3 Life ForBangladesh schools.
Pictures of the meals and gifts will be shared on Facebook.
Any additional donations not marked for this appeal will be used to maintain staff and facilities at the schools.
We do not charge administrative overheads, which means all the money will be used to provide Christmas gifts and education.
