PWRDF Lenten Outreach – Vaccine Equity Fund March 2022
Lent is a time in the church year for us to examine our lives. To consider honestly how we are living, and what we would like to change or redirect. This year we would encourage you to think prayerfully about contributing to the PWRDF Vaccine Equity Fund through the ‘Pay It Forward’ campaign. This campaign was initiated in April of 2021 and so far, more than $60,000 has been donated.
Based on science and the experience of epidemiologists fighting other pandemics & epidemics around the world, now and over the past 100 years, it has been shown that our best protection comes from preventative measures including vaccination. Many countries cannot afford to supply their people with vaccines, so it is up to the rest of the world to help. Encouraged by our Primate, Archbishop Linda Nicholls, several Bishops from across Canada have been urging Anglicans to pay it forward, including our own Bishop John. A suggested donation would be the cost of the vaccine you have received, but any amount would be very supportive. (Pfizer was charging $19.50 per dose, for example).
Please refer to page 3 of the PWRDF’s February 2022 issue of “Under The Sun” entitled HOPE, included with the most recent Anglican Journal, for more information. Also visit the PWRDF website.

Also of interest is an interactive global map of current vaccination rates, found on the New York Times website.

Thank you for your continued support of PWRDF.
Wishing you a Holy Lent,
Heather Clarke, PWRDF Parish Rep
