SSIF contributed artwork to and attended the national Holocaust Meorial Day event in London. Our artwork was an Inter Faith collaboration worked on by members of many faiths and including children from Craven Arms Islamic Centre and resettled Syrian children. The theme was of the cherry tree orrchard that SSIF together with Shropshire Council are planting across the County. Lydbury North and Onny schools added this year.

SSIF are supporting and endorsing the campaign to end modern slavery.

Pamela Thompson will give an illustrated talk about her adventures at 7.30 p.m. on Monday 13th May in Ludlow Methodist Church. Indian sweets and a hot drink will be served. There will be no entry charge, but donations for the work of ‘Salt of the Earth’ (registered charity 328328) will be welcomed.

‘Salt of the Earth’ is a small UK charity which has been working in southern India for more than 30 years. Its aim is to alleviate rural poverty by empowering villagers to improve their lives. In January Pamela visited villages, rural development centres and schools in three locations which are supported by ‘Salt of the Earth’. She met some amazing people there. Then she travelled on a pilgrimage for four weeks in India and Bhutan, meeting even more amazing people.
