Burundi – Rev Noe Bukuru has sent his heartfelt thanks for our donation, and their joy at being able to give 59 of their poorest families food for a week. He has also told me that they are hoping to be able to feed families at Easter. As we now have all the relevant systems working properly at our bank, we are intending to send a donation to them on a monthly basis, which, should anyone wish to make a personal donation, we can add to that. To make a donation speak to Rebekah or Janice. Thank you.
