Support for children in Syria

Support for children in Syria

You may have seen the news reports of the desperate situation in Syria. 

Here is a video which explains some of the current situation:

There is an appeal for Dignity Bags that are being sent out to children. 

These bags are filled with brand new items of clothing for orphaned children to wear during the extremely cold weather in Syria currently. These items include things like a coat, pair of shoes, socks and vests. If you can help, there is information below on how to fill your own bag to send. 

Here is a video on what you should include in the Dignity Bags:

If you want to support this project, details of what is needed in each bag can be found here:

The timescale for this is very tight with a collection in Hinckley between 15-22 Feb. 

The Justice and Peace group can arrange for delivery of completed bags to Hinckley. Please drop any completed bags off at the church by 13 Feb.
