PWRDF appeal for Australian bushfires

As your PWRDF representative, I’d like to draw your attention to the news that PWRDF is appealing for funds to work with two Anglican counterparts of PWRDF in Australia. Some of us have friends and/or family in Australia and may want to show our support by donating to this PWRDF campaign. Details can be found at https://pwrdf.org/pwrdf-supports-australian-bushfire-appeal/ or by getting in touch with me, Hiya Field (hiyafield@gmail.com).
