I'm away from this afternoon for the weekend, end of Scottish rail strike permitting, so here are 3 days' worth of Count Your Blessings. See you all on Monday :)
Friday 9th March 2007
Many people walk miles each day for water and food.
Give 50p for every car your household owns.
Saturday 10th March 2007
Kenya spends 40% of its annual budget on servicing its debts.
Give 20p for every shop you visit today.
Sunday 11th March 2007 - end of Fairtrade Fortnight
Millions of people will go to bed hungry tonight, even though there is enough food in the world for everybody.
Give 1p for every fair-trade food product in your kitchen, and 5p for every pack of rice, sugar or bananas which is not fairly traded.
What's this in aid of? Count Your Blessings is a daily Lent plan to help raise funds for the work of Christian Aid.
