A jumble of items with a clear purpose!

Soroptimists in Wakefield recently sent the following items, collected and made by members to benefit overseas recipients via CART – Christian African Relief Trust, who actively ship practical donated goods to  the needy worldwide from their base in nearby Huddersfield. Any items which this charity receives which are not suitable to send are also sold locally in charity shops to fund the shipping costs. This worthwhile charity helps us to offer practical assistance as a club as well as raise awareness of the needs of others. We also sent 3 completed bags to Mary’s Meals a charity which enables children to be fed and educated in the developing world both through sponsoring school places and meals and equipping students with basic stationery and the means to get to school. We as members of SI Wakefield use every means at our disposal to help women and children worldwide, whether by using our time, and skills, our networks of friends and acquaintances, or our fundraising abilities to make a difference. Like our membership, this jumble of seemingly unrelated items together can make a difference.
