Thanks to everybody who contributed to the Christmas Concert by The Chanctonbury Chorus on Wednesday 15 December 2010.

We raised just over Ł550 towards CAFOD's work in Rwanda,

where they are supporting a women's organisation which helps widows and orphaned children, still trying to rebuild their homes and traumatised lives after the genocide in 1994. 

Most international aid agencies have left Rwanda but poverty is a long-term consequence of the violence and many people in remote areas lost everything - their loved ones, homes, land, livestock and income.  CAFOD is still helping some of the hundreds of thousands of women and children to deal with the HIV resulting from mass rape and to obtain legal help to get justice for the murder of loved ones and the destruction of land and property.

 

 

 

 

 

PICTURES FROM OUR

 

SHUFFLEBOARD EVENING

 

 HELD IN MAY 2010 IN AID OF CAFOD

 This was a very enjoyable evening in the newly refitted Priory Refectory.  Forty five people became very competitive as the evening progressed and the excitement mounted.  Nice food, plenty of wine and an excellent profit of Ł300 for CAFOD funds.
