Bulletin from Trócaire for the Second Sunday of Advent.

Christmas might be understood as a celebration of the love Joseph and Mary showed Jesus during his infancy and childhood. It is this care that all parents/guardians want to show to children in their family. Imagine the joy then that Lina and John Mario Peralta from rural Colombia feel as they feed the chickens they received through Global Gift. The family lives in a conflict-torn area and struggled for years to survive. Now the children have a healthier diet and their father, John, breeds chickens to sell the eggs for income. This year for €15 / £13 you can help families in East Africa provide for their children by buying the gift of chicks.
