St Elli Collects for Pakistan

All the retailers in the St Elli Centre have agreed to have a collection tin on
the till point for a two week period between Saturday 18th September and
Saturday 2nd October. The collection will be for the devastation in Pakistan
caused by the recent flooding that has affected almost 21 million people.
Jane Cocking a Humanitarian Director for Oxfam said.

People in the flood’s wake were already desperately poor and what little
possessions they had have been washed away. The extent of this crisis is only
slowly emerging. The more villages that are reached the grimmer the picture
becomes.

There is a desperate need for temporary shelter, clean drinking water and
toilets to avert a public health catastrophe. People also need medical care and
basic food items. We are looking at a sizable aid package that will require a
great deal of public support.

So please when shopping in one of the St Elli retailers please donate your
loose change.

Thank You
