World Development Appeal

Envelopes are on porch table.

The theme of this year’s World Development Appeal is ‘Reclaiming HOPE.’

Climate change challenges sustainable development in the world’s poorest communities. By supporting the World Development Appeal we can give resilient people in places like El Salvador a just and sustainable future. The projects being highlighted this year are in El Salvador and Brazil. El Salvador, almost 25 years after the UN brokered peace agreement, and still bearing the scars of war, is facing almost every sustainable development challenge there is: climate change, insecure livelihoods, the legacy of sustained conflict, severe gender inequality, threatened gang violence, and youth unemployment, to name just a few. PROCARES (Programme for Capacity-Building and Reconstruction in El Salvador), partnering with Christian Aid since 1998, has made a commitment to sustainable economic development. The El Zompopero Cooperative Society is one of the fruits of that commitment. Giving to the 2016 World Development Appeal will enable organisations like PROCARES to continue this support

Appeal for Road Safety as clocks go back and winter time begins

With the clocks due to go back signalling the return to winter time and darker evenings, the Donegal Road Safety Working Group is appealing to all road users especially cyclists and pedestrians to stay safe and be seen. Already this year, 159 people have lost their lives on our roads, an increase of 31 on the same period in 2015. 55 have died on Northern Ireland’s roads. 10 people have tragically lost their lives in Donegal and many more have been seriously injured in road traffic collisions in Ireland.

Always wear a hi-viz jacket to be seen if you are walking, running, cycling or riding a motorbike. Slow down if you are a driver, especially when sharing the road with vulnerable road users. Every driver and passenger has to wear a seat belt, front and rear on every trip and ensure children are properly restrained. Do not drive while being distracted by a mobile phone, never drive while impaired, whether through drink, drugs or driver fatigue.

We all need to be aware too that the changing weather will make for dangerous road conditions so it is vitally important that we all take responsibility for our driving behaviour if we are going to stop the current increase of death and serious injury on our roads. Brian O’Donnell, Road Safety Officer, Donegal County Council

Service next Sunday –Sacrament of the Lord’s supper and will be conducted by Rev Stewart Glendinning

Thank you to all who came along to the social on Friday and also to those who provided food for the supper and helped out on the night.  Much appreciated.
