From Trocaire:
"Those who oppress the poor show contempt for their Maker but whoever is kind to the needy honours God" Proverbs 14:31. As we mark International Human Rights Day (10th Dec) Trocaire asks us to help the thousands of poor people in Pakistan who are living under wealthy landowners as modern day slaves. The Global Gift of Freedom will help stop this terrible abuse. Log on to www.trocaire.org/global gift or call 1850 408 408 (0800 912 1200 in NI).
