ADRA UK Annual Appeal 2010

This year marks the 97th annual Humanitarian collection by Adventists.

you + ADRA = solutions

In the period between March 27 and April 11 2010, many thousands of volunteers will collect from door-to-door to support the humanitarian work of ADRA-UK. This will be the 97th year that volunteers will go door-knocking to help people in need.

During the Annual Appeal period supporters will not just knock on doors but supporters of all ages will be involved in numerous kinds of fundraising activities, including sponsored walks, benefit concerts and car washes. Last year collectors raised almost £600,000 to aid the work of ADRA-UK.

Without these activities and the hard work of our volunteers, ADRA-UK would not be in a position to address the humanitarian issues of the world.

Funds raised through the 2010 ADRA-UK Annual Appeal support projects that will:

• Combat hunger in Myanmar
• Increase use of renewable energy in Somalia
• Prevent exploitation of refugees in Thailand
• Improve natural resource management in Burkina Faso
• Help disabled children to go to school in Mongolia
• Help fight hunger in Zambia
• Help people with special needs in the UK
• Provide food security in Ghana
• Support international disaster response

Why not start planning with some friends now as to how you can get involved and help those in need. Always keep in mind the words of Jesus; "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me" (Matt.25:40 KJV).
