Friends of St. Gregory’s donate to life-saving Project in Bangladesh
At their March 2015 meeting, the Friends listened to a talk by Bondhon Rural Community Education Project, a locally based charity working with deprived communities in rural Bangladesh. Following the talk, Sheila Breed, Chair of the Friends, presented a cheque for £200 towards the charity’s Tube Well and Latrine Project which aims to bring desperately needed clean water and improved sanitation to isolated villages in the Habigonj district of the country. The Chairperson of Bondhon, Peter Cantle said;
“We are so very grateful to the Friends of St. Gregory’s for this very kind donation, every penny of which will go directly to the villagers and which will literally save lives, particularly those of women and children dying in childbirth which is one of the biggest killers among the 20 settlements and 23,000 people the Project works with.”
