Dear ,
A big thanks to everyone who has supported our campaign against the gruesome and shocking crime of Child Sacrifice in Uganda - we’ve made important progress.
-
People from over 72 countries have now signed the online petition
-
27 MPs have signed an Early Day Motion in Parliament supporting the campaign and mentioning our report (read the full text of the EDM here http://www.parliament.uk/edm/2010-12/2438)
-
MPs in the Parliament of Australia have backed the campaign – more details soon.
Thanks also to everyone who gave to help Allan, the young boy who survived a ritual sacrifice by a witch doctor in Uganda. Allan was featured prominently in the BBC TV news coverage, and we have launched an appeal to help build him a new house. If you would like to help, you can donate online through Just Giving here http://www.jubileecampaign.co.uk/justgiving or PayPal here http://www.jubileecampaign.co.uk/paypal

But there’s more to do. In November, we received the shocking news that an 11-month old baby had been offered for sale to witch doctors. The sale was stopped and the culprit arrested. Our partner in Uganda confirms that our campaign has made an impact and has increased awareness throughout the country on this terrible crime. Read the full story here http://allafrica.com/stories/201111160872.html
We have some important developments with this campaign and will be sending you more details in the new year.
There’s still time to buy Christmas gifts from our online fair-trade shop. Please do browse the shop when you can http://jubileecampaign.ethictrade.com/
With personal best wishes to you and your family over this Christmas season.
