Choose Gifts of Life from Christian World Service this Christmas: Gift giving brings joy to both giver and recipient. But the gifts on the CWS Gifted website go further. They are practical support to people affected by poverty and injustice and helping them access essential resources that many in Aotearoa New Zealand may take for granted (water & sanitation; food & agriculture; child health, welfare & education; livelihoods; emergency relief). You can bring hope to some of the world’s most vulnerable people. Website: gift.org.nz or call 0800 74 73 72. See the pamphlet on the noticeboard in the foyer for more details.
