An appeal for Sudan



A letter from Sigrid Lefebvre, of St. Joseph's Parish in Mission, highlights the urgent need for help in Sudan. Lefebvre is a board member of Canadian Food for Children, a truly altruistic organization in which everyone is a volunteer. No one is paid for their work. One hundred percent of an individual's donation is used to buy food and to pay for shipping costs.
The organization is relaying a request for help from Bishop Akio Johnson Mutek, Bishop of Torit, who says, "death from hunger is so simple; one can die in bed weak and helpless." If you think you can lend a hand, knowing that every penny of your contribution will help feed the hungry, visit www.canadianfoodforchildren.org.
