Catering Course Saturday 16th June 2012
Many churches (and other organisations) within the Aylesbury Vale area have taken
advantage of the Food Safety Courses held at Southcourt Baptist Church in Aylesbury.
Anyone within your organisation who works with food has a special responsibility for
safeguarding the health of consumers. You need to ensure that the food made and
served is perfectly safe to eat. ( ...more)
Karibuni Trust and Kenya
Many people have asked us if the appalling situation in East Africa is affecting the projects supported by Karibuni Trust in Kenya. The answer is ‘YES’.
A few years ago we started sending £1,000 a year to Rev Golicha, the Superintendent Minister of the North East Methodist Mission, covering an area from Maua to Wajir and the borders with Ethiopia and Somalia; he feeds 400 families with maize flour each year! There is a shortage of food and water; outbreaks of disease and people and animals are dying - and can we please help more?
In Kenya it is estimated that 2.4 million people will need emergency food aid. As a result of drought related crop failure, basic food prices are rocketing – even by up to 200%. Therefore all the projects we support, with 1,200 children, are affected and we will have to send extra money for food and salary increases.
Many thanks
