Christian Aid Week, 14-20 May 2006
Christian Aid Week is seven amazing days of fundraising, prayer and action against global poverty. Add your time, money and voice to Christian Aid Week, and see them multiplied to make an impact around the world through Christian Aid. This is when Christian Aid has its highest profile, and there are many opportunities for people to get involved, from the house-to-house collection to special services, fundraising and action events. Christian Aid produces themed resources to support these activities each year. In 2006, Christian Aid Week focuses on the slogan that has inspired so many people over the years: ‘We believe in life before death.’ It reminds us that in the face of poverty and despair, we continue to hope, pray and act for a better world. Our belief in life before death compels us to stand alongside those who are struggling, and proclaim that life should be about more than mere survival.
