I would like to thank you and everyone in your congregation for the overwhelmingly generous response to the Bishop’s Lent Appeal for the
Nari Dana ‘Ray of Hope’ project in Kolkata. The total raise so far is over £9,000, and there are some charges still intending to send their
contributions. Thank you, for this wonderful gift to women in Kolkata, and for the many lives that will be changed by your giving. Please pray for Nari Dana (“women’s wings” in Bengali) for the staff, volunteers, and the women whose lives are being transformed.

Bishop Ian
