As I was sitting here thinking where I should go out to eat lunch… I read this post on my facebook from father themi I had to share .......... Greeting in Christ facebook, Thank you again to all those who helped in any way for all the emergency glove & masks packages, we pray for you every day and thank God we have you all as a lifeline. But my worst fears are now being realized. With introduction of travel bans and quarantines in order to combat the outbreak of the Ebola virus, it is having a devastating economic impact on our mission. The UN has issued a high-level food security alert for Sierra Leone and surrounding countries, warning us that the food crisis is expected to intensify in coming months. Local production of crops such as rice, maize has been scaled back due to a shortage of labour (people have abandoned their farms in fear of contracting the virus), this in turn is leading to sharp price hikes, rice for example, has risen by 150 to 500 per cent in just two weeks, if it can be found. Our food stocks here will last no more than 2 months with rationing, and according to all reports, the situation will get worse before it gets better. I fear, that by Christmas we will be running on Empty. So I am appealing to Paradise 4 Kids in Australia and the USA to help us once again and organise a container of Food as soon as possible so that it may reach us before Christmas. I have asked Mr Louis Toumbas , International Director of Paradise 4 Kids to organise at least one container as quickly as possible. Please support us, we need your help. +Rev Themi Adamopoulo paradise4kids.org/how-to-donate/ ................ If you don’t already know P4k is the charity which feeds, educates and provides shelter for many children in Africa. To the people in the mission like father Themi, these children are like their own. I don’t think I have any children, but I could not imagine a worse feeling than not being able to feed your child or having to choose which one goes hungry today. If you haven’t already please donate to this worthy cause and also support our upcoming Catwalk 2 Compassion event by purchasing tickets here paradise4kids.org/upcoming-events/c2c-2014/ to really help make a difference.
