Moray rallies to help Rwanda
A Moray community has rallied round a ramshackle church which has brought two warring tribes together after bitter bloodshed and slaughter.The church, made from mud bricks and sticks, has been a place of forgiveness and reconciliation for people torn apart by the genocide in Rwanda.
But now a demolition order is looming over it, and the poverty-stricken townsfolk face an impossible task of raising £30,000 for a new building.
Parishioners in the east of Moray have been helping the campaign, and have also been fund-raising for other projects in and around Kubungo.
Their donation of £8,000 was delivered by Rev Graham Austin, Church of Scotland minister for the linked charges of Findochty, Portknockie and Rathven.
