Letters to
the Editor
Jersey
Evening Post
Dear Sir:
On behalf of
Mustard Seed Jersey and the many beneficiaries in the Bihor
county of Romania may I thank the Jersey public for their generosity that has
made another humanitarian aid consignment possible.
Special
thanks go to all those who have supported our Lenten Project of Welcome Boxes
for the repatriated victims of people trafficking. We thank the media for their help promoting this
project.
Having just
sent 12 tonnes of humanitarian aid, we thank each person who has donated either
goods or money to pay the costs of transport and all who have supported us in
prayer. Grateful thanks to Marcus Sutton of Sutton Transport Services Ltd for
his on-going help and support, and to Channel Island Tyre Company
. We thank Condorferries Freight for generous
discount on the sea crossing to St Malo for the aid
trailer. We thank TTS for their help. Our special thanks to Sarl
Garage Godard in Brittany for the free use of a tractor unit to pull our aid
trailer and to Michel Desmot in St Malo for his help with every trip. We thank the German road
tolls BAG for exempting us from paying HGV toll in Germany.
Without the
support of islanders this trip would not have been possible. Our continuing
thanks to our collection places All Saints Church, St Peters Church, St Marys
Church, St Lukes Church and to the volunteers who
collect from there, also to Holme Grown Farm Shop for
their help on our east of island collection days. We thank our landlords for free use of
premises, Vernon Helie and The Seymour Group of
Hotels. Continuing thanks are due to the committed groups of volunteers who
work in the background to sort, pack and load all the aid.
Working
together as a team we can achieve a huge amount to ease suffering and bring
hope to the poorest of the poor in Romania. To each who has contributed in any
way a very sincere THANK YOU and God bless you.
