A light for
Aleppo .
Offering a light in the darkness, to show those who
face daily conflict and starvation, that the world is spreading out beacons of
vigilance and hope.
At 5pm
on Sunday 20th November, as the dark nights begin to draw in, communities will
gather along the Firth of Forth in Scotland and in other sites around the world to light lights
of hope for those besieged in Aleppo .
Join in wherever you are, or place lit candles or
lamps in the windows of your own homes. If you can, please donate to Oxfam,
Medicin Sans Frontieres, Caritas Internationalis or the Society of the Red
Cross and Red Crescent who are working in the region.
All
people still living in war zones around the world have less and less food to
live on each day, fewer and fewer medical supplies to respond to the constant
arms attacks, and aid cannot easily get through. We want them to know that
wherever they are they are not forgotten, and the world is watching.
When we
are helpless to do much, we can answer the darkness by sending messages of
light around the world
