Better Than Bubble Bath - Extraordinary gifts for Christmas
As many of us rack our brains for the perfect gift for that
difficult relative, the Methodist Relief and Development Fund
(MRDF) is encouraging people to do something life-changing this
Christmas. It has launched an all-new range of gifts:
ordinary-sounding things that make an extraordinary difference to
people living in some of the world's poorest communities.
Extraordinary gifts provide a variety of opportunities, such as
sending a child to school in Bangladesh or giving families in El
Salvador a wood-saving stove. A colourful card and magnet explain
all about the small miracle that each item enables - and with
prices from £7 and gifts from around the world - it's not hard to
find the perfect miracle - whomever you are buying for.
MRDF's Director of Supporter Relations, Amanda Norman, says:
'Understandably, people will want to be careful with their money
this Christmas. Buying one of MRDF's Extraordinary gifts is money
well spent - a meaningful gift that will change the lives of some
of the world's poorest people.'
Each gift comes from ongoing work carried out through responsible,
local agencies that know what is best for their communities. MRDF
works closely with its partners ensure everything it supports is
safe, sustainable and situationally appropriate.
Extraordinary gifts can be bought online from www.mrdf.org.uk, or
by calling 020 7467 5132 to order a catalogue.
