  3. Irish Unit Aims for this quinquennium: 2011-2016

  4. Continue focus on the UN Millennium Development Goals... ...with a particular emphasis on MDGs 2 and 3 for the Irish Unit

  5. ‘My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely Christ, in whom are all the treasurers of wisdom and knowledge.’ Colossians 2:2,3 Hope for the learners

  6. Hope for equality For all of you were baptised into Christ, have been clothed with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:27-28

  7. Taking these goals into consideration, we are currently supporting: Open Schools Worldwide International AudiBible Project • About Open Schools: • Christian organisation • Responds to needs of educationally marginalised children, offering free and open access to education, through trained volunteer teachers. • Partners with local communities to ensure most appropriate provision. • Organisers of ‘school-in-a-bag’ project – provides all resources necessary to provide this education.

  8. Open Schools Worldwide InternationalAudiBible Project 2013-2014 • Working with volunteer teachers and local communities in South Africa. • Contain whole Bible in appropriate languages for learners. • Also contain stories and phonics necessary for literacy teaching. • Solar-powered – don’t need batteries. • Cost: 250 @ £30 each including recording, delivery and training – that’s £7500 altogether. • 200 AudiBibles purchased so far (£6000) – thank you! Please keep supporting this project to help reach our target of 250!

  9. Raise awareness of human trafficking in our country • Human trafficking is modern-day slavery. • Estimated 27 million slaves in the world today in 162 countries. • Only approximately 1-2% are rescued. • Ireland is a hub for trafficking. • Get connected. Find out more. Join the fight against trafficking.

  10. Don’t forget Gift Aid! • Remember to ask for a gift aid form when making donations to WFM&UCW • In Northern Ireland we get an extra 23p for every £1 spent – that’s another £23 for nothing if you donate £100!
