Some of you may remember that in March 2020, just before the lockdown, we were visited by a vice chair of a cooperative of coffee growers called Jenipher from Uganda. She talked to us about her coffee farm, the empowering of women and the affects of climate change. The Welsh Government has made a commitment to buy her coffee beans, which are roasted and packaged in Wales. I have bags to sell! Medium roast, high quality Arabica ground Fairtrade coffee 227g for £4.50. The website below shows more products which you could buy direct or ask me.

Pope Francis Invitation - Call for Action
Laudato si' Action Platform: 25th May 2021 On 25 May, the new Laudato Si Platform for Action was presented in Rome. The Laudato Si’ Action Platform is a unique collaboration between the Vatican, an international coalition of Catholic organizations, and “all men and women of good will". Pope Francis sends a message to launch the new Laudato si' Action Platform: Source: Vatican News 25th May 2021 The Pope explains that the Laudato si' Action Platform is "a seven-year journey that will see our communities committed in different ways to becoming totally sustainable, in the spirit of integral ecology." He invites everyone to "embark on this journey together," and particularly calls on the involvement of "families - parishes and dioceses - schools and universities - hospitals - businesses and farms - organisations, groups and movements - religious institutes." Work together, he stresses, as "only in this way will we be able to create the future we want: a more inclusive, fraternal, peaceful and sustainable world." Bringing his message to a close, Pope Francis recalls that "there is hope." Working together, he says, "each one with his own culture and experience, each one with her own initiatives and capacities, so that our mother Earth may be restored to her original beauty and creation may once again shine according to God’s plan." |
