OUR STRENGTH: SUSTAINABLE AND PARTICIPATORY DEVELOPMENT
If you made a donation to Development and Peace during our Haiti emergency campaign, we thank you for your solidarity. We would like to offer you the chance to do even more through our 2010 Share Lent campaign.
Ten percent of our annual Share Lent fundraising campaign is set aside for emergency relief. This means Development and Peace is able to provide immediate assistance when disaster strikes, as it did in Haiti on January 12, 2010.
The needs of the poorest throughout the Global South are plentiful, yet some stories will never appear on the front pages of our newspapers. ShareLent donation allows you to help those in the shadows participate fully in their own development.
The impact of your Share Lent donation will be multiplied through the long-term and participatory development practiced by our partners. This is the best protection people in the Global South can have against natural disasters!
We here at Development and Peace have been super impressed with your leadership, your commitment to international solidarity, and your mad THINKfast skills.
Not only are you generous fundraisers, but you have been leading spin-off THINKfasts in your local parishes. Nice work!
We wanted to thank you in a special way, so… we have a few videos we made – just for you.
Here is a special message from one of our partners who is here with us in Montreal this weekend for a Development and Peace program planning and visioning session.
Meet Victoria Ohaeri of the Social & Economic Rights Action Centre (www.serac.org) in Lagos, Nigeria…
Thank you for all your support and for showing us all how to put our faith into action. Keep being that prophetic voice – sharing the good news and denouncing injustice on behalf of our brothers and sisters around the world. Peace, and God bless!
