Online back-up offer for our friends

TASTE has started using an amazing online back-up service to keep all our data safe. It cost us £24.95, which works out at less than 7p per day! We were so impressed that we've 'done a deal' so that you can use the product as well ... and we get a little commission. We both win! Have a look at TASTE online back-up.

"Rocky must go!"
That's the cry we hear so often these days. Rocky is our drilling rig and it is getting so old that it breaks down most weeks - we reckon that it is not working 30% - 50% of the time. Hence the cry from the lips of the team! The Trustees are undertaking a large-scale fund raising project during the summer to raise the £80,000 we need to replace Rocky.

Helping rural pastors ...
When we work in rural communities, we usually partner with the WASCOM (Water & Sanitation Committee). That's where we meet local leaders and pastors. There can often be 5 or 6 churches in a rural community and many of the pastors have not enjoyed the privilege of bible college training. To help them, one of our Trustees, Adamu Maga, has offered to run workshops on biblical exegesis (critical analysis). This will teach them how to analyse scripture so that they can understand it and teach it more effectively. This work will start in the Autumn and we'll let you know how it goes........

UPDATE: We completed 8 boreholes, all close to COCIN churches, in Panyam. Adamu has approached the COCIN churches and offered to run a free workshop for them - we'll let you know how it goes.

We are planning to help the community in Jemkur ...
The community in Jemkur (Langtang LGA) are in a desperate condition. In the rainy season, water is stored in mini-dams, which is shared with domestic and farm animals. In the dry season, women and children walk up to 7k per day to fetch water. 99% of the homes have no toilets ...... to find out how we are helping this community, look at our Jemkur case study.

We have a long term project to purchase land build an office complex ...
We will keep you up-to-date with developments on our new office page.

The Recycle Challenge - have you got the bottle?

Many of us are so fed-up with 1p & 5p coins that we leave them out of our purses or pockets and they end up all over the house. Some people even throw them away! Now you can keep all your 'shrapnel' in one place - in the TASTE water bottle, ideally suited to hold hundreds of unwanted small coins. Once full, you can either bank the money and send us a cheque or you can call us and we'll arrange for one of our supporters to come round and collect the coins so that we can bank them.

You can take part in the coin Recycling Challenge by downloading a label that will fit an Oasis bottle

or, if you are a Danish supporter, you can download a Danish label.

Do you see our newsletters?

TASTE tries to keep its supporters up to date with regular newsletters.

Meanwhile, you can browse some of the back-numbers here. They are in pdf format so to be able to make sense of them, you'll need a pdf reader like Adobe Acrobat. You can download the reader free by clicking on this link - download Acrobat

We've stripped out any pictures from the earlier versions to make them quicker to load for those readers still using dial-up.

As you can see, we've been remiss at keeping this up-to-date, but we'll be doing our best from now on!
