Warwick District UN Association are organising a talk called

A faith based Approach to Development – what difference does it make? 

on Saturday 25 January in Leamington Spa Baptist Church (Warwick Hall), Chandos Street, Leamington Spa, CV32 4RN.  from 12:00 pm till 2:15  pm. 

Guest Speaker: Jason Garrett, Senior Resilience Adviser, World Vision UK.

His role also includes Grant Portfolio Manager for East Africa, Country Programme Manager for Kenya & Uganda and he was Asian Tsunami Response Coordinator.

Jason’s presentation will focus on the role that faith-based NGOs can play in working with local communities to address issues of poverty and injustice and can faith make a significant difference.

How can this be a positive difference rather than creating divisions between different faiths? Does this mean a faith based organisation is better than an organisation with no faith basis, or just different? How do faith based organisations work with those of different faiths or no faith? Will include examples of how World Vision works with faith leaders and other faith based organisations to tackle issues around HIV and AIDS, gender relations, child protection, child health, community empowerment, livelihoods and agriculture.

There will be a Ploughman’s Lunch including tea/coffee at £3.50 per head.
