Parish news Diary, March 2009 Saffron Screen (the lovely intimate cinema located within Saffron Walden County High School), is supporting Khandel light at two of its forthcoming screenings of Slumdog Millionaire. At the afternoon and evening performances on Sunday 22nd March, there will be collections for Khandel light at the cinema. There will be Trustees present at both shows. Saffron Screen is a great local venue with easy access and free parking. We are grateful for their support, especially at the showing of a film so apposite to our cause – do go along! As the UK continues to be in the grip of snow and rain, news from Khandel is dominated by ongoing drought and water shortages and the deprivation and hardship caused by the lack of this most basic commodity. Khandel light trustees are aware of the pressures we face to keep our basic programmes running in the current economic difficulties. At the moment, we are holding up well, thanks to your ongoing and much valued support. Khandel light is a local Charity is run by volunteers, and so without the pressure of meeting the running expenses of larger charities. Funds are channelled directly to where they are needed, offering donors extremely good value. As ever, regular donations, however small (£5 will keep an extended family in clean, safe water for a couple of months) are a huge help in future planning. Gift aid increases the value of these donations. Please talk to a Trustee if you wish to know more. Please not that the BOSS concert, will now take place later in the year; the date will be finalised very soon, and should be announced next month, so watch this space! Thank you for your support, and well done James Gough for your great success in the Mumbai Marathon in the face of adversity; heat, humidity and jet-lag! Yvonne McPartland |
