We are here from Christian Aid in Wales and also as representatives of The Union of Welsh Independents, who are the Congregational Churches in Wales, UK. We thank you for welcoming us to join in this event and to be part of your struggle for true and meaningful freedom.

We have not come to offer answers but to question and discover.

We have come to show compassion and solidarity with the marginalized.

We have come here to listen and to observe.

By listening and observing,

We have heard and we have seen.

By listening we have heard -

We have heard the voice of ordinary people asking for clean water, for electricity, better sanitation within their communities and asking not to be disbursed and moved out of their rooted local environment.
