We are going to be working with a partner organisation who take your old DIY Equipment, sewing machine or typewriter
refurbish it and send it to local people in Africa for them to use.
Most of us have things lying around in cupboards, garages and sheds, that we no longer use.
For someone in Africa they could become the basis of a business.
We want to see people equipped to make their own life better.
So between 10.30 and 13.00
We will have a series of activities running through the morning.
There will be displays of flowers, fruit, vegetables and other foodstuff as we celebrate our good fortune to have such abundance.
on Sunday 24th September we are
inviting you to bring your
old and surplus tools to
the Baptist Church on School Street.
There will be a buffet, tea, coffee and juice.
We will have a series of 10 to 15 minute activities - games, crafts, stories, singing, so that you can come and go throughout the time.
By contributing things which you no longer use you can change someones life.
Here is a list of the kind of things we have been
asked by partner groups in Africa to collect.
