Don't wash your hands!

Christian Aid Week last year raised  over £8m and engaged around 57,000 volunteers, of which i was only one.  I always enjoy meeting my neighbours on the doorsteps and really appreciate their generosity.  This year, due to Covid-19, I can't do that, so this is an alternative.  Seven bike rides, on my static trainer, in my garage, 140km and over 9000m of climbing - the computer makes sure that my legs feel the realistic pain!

This year the focus is on Kenya, which is experiencing its worst drought in living memory, and now has Coronavirus to contend
with too.  

To combat Coronavirus we are all told to  “Wash your hands”.  Well, that’s not difficult if you have soap and water.  Christian Aid is helping Kenyans to build water traps and dams, without which many will die from a basic lack of water and hygiene. 

In Holy Week, when Pontius Pilate could not find any fault in Jesus he ‘washed his hands’ claiming to be “innocent of this man’s blood” (Matt 27:24).  Please let’s not “wash our hands” of the plight of our Kenyan brothers and sisters.  If you can, please donate a little something to Christian Aid this year.
