FUNDRAISING<br />
Nets Work<br />
Young Amy Hardy demonstrates<br />
how to use a mosquito net at the<br />
launch of the ‘Net Works’ project<br />
at the recent Derry and Raphoe<br />
Diocesan Synod. Also pictured<br />
are Bishop Ken Good and Revd<br />
Sampson Ajuka.<br />
The special diocesan appeal, in<br />
conjunction with <strong>Christian</strong> <strong>Aid</strong> and<br />
the Church of Ireland Bishops’<br />
Appeal, aims to buy 20,000 nets<br />
over the next year.<br />
Every 45 seconds a child will die<br />
from malaria – yet the disease<br />
can so easily be prevented by the<br />
provision of a mosquito net.<br />
Bishop Good said ‘I am very excited<br />
that Derry and Raphoe has identified<br />
a life-saving project in Nigeria –<br />
providing thousands of mosquito<br />
nets for people who can’t afford<br />
them.’<br />

Doherty, which will build four homes in Haiti for those left<br />
homeless after the devastating 2010 earthquake.<br />
The money was raised at the church’s Flower Festival<br />
held in May this year. Also pictured are Adam Purce and<br />
