Life is precious as we've discovered through the birth of our baby; now 5 months old and such a beautiful one we hope you'll agree! Zebedee means Given by God as well as being from the The Magic Roundabout!

We're celebrating the birth of Zebedee in two ways - parties & fundraising for MAC and we'd like to invite you to make a donation supporting the lives of babies and kids in Zambia through Manchester Aid for Children, a charity we have helped set up recently. Zeb has all he needs but other babies and children don't so please give whatever you can afford towards a water system & a children's village we're building in partnership. We need to raise over £500,000 so every little helps! More info at www.manchesteraidforchildren.org to see what your cash will do but £30 provides maize for 1 month for a family of 4, £65 gives a bike to a Zambian volunteer to visit families across a large area, £15 supports basic school books, fees & food for 1 child for 1 month, £300 salaries a nursery school teacher for 1 year.

Instead of more presents (thankyou for the lovely things!) please give what you can and we'll be having two parties in return sometime in 2010: A Service of Dedication and Thanks to God in church and a Baby Naming Ceremony. We'd love you to be part of the Dedication and Thanks and will let you know when that will be. The Baby Naming will be a family event.

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
