Christadelphian Meal-a-Day Fund of the Americas
Christadelphian Meal-a-Day Fund (CMaD) has been a successful charitable organization operating from the United Kingdom for more than 30 years, serving many needs in Africa and India, as well as a few in South America.
Recently we were asked to replicate this good work in the Americas…to do an effective job of raising money in North America, and to identify and serve additional worthy international charitable needs in Latin American and Caribbean countries. Click here to find out how you can contribute.

Building in Joplin, Missouri
Here's an exciting opportunity for those too young for the Meal A Day building trips outside the United States. From June 23-30, 2012 a team of 20 volunteers will be working in Joplin, Missouri to repair damage from the devastating tornado that hit that city on May 22 of 2011. For the first time, helpers as young as 13 will be accepted into the program as long as they are accompanied by an adult guardian. Those 16 and older do not require a guardian. All participants will be staying in the home of Joplin residents Bro. Jonathan and Sis. Megan Sabo, and the only cost for participation is airfare/travel fees.

A Creative Idea
In two months, one small ecclesia raised $167 for CMaDFA just by collecting spare change in this box. If 100 North American ecclesias did this all year long, it would cover more than half the annual cost of an orphanage for 45 severely abused children in Colombia. Working together even in this small way, we can share our blessings and make a meaningful difference for some of our poorest neighbors.
