Churches in Withycombe Raleigh have boosted funds raised to help preserve an Indian reservation in the USA
Withycombe Raleigh’s churches have raised more than �2,000 to help preserve an Indian reservation in the USA.
The Wambli Ska Win Vision is a project protecting the Lakota nation of the Pine Ridge reservation, in South Dakota, USA.
With the total raised standing at �2,807, the parish is aiming to raise a further �900 to reach its target of �3,800.
A recent curry night ended with a donation of �230 for the cause, while some �520 was raised after The Reverend Stephen Hoyle, pictured here, was sponsored to work at Mangos coffee shop, in Exmouth.
A further �50 was raised from a soup lunch.
The Right Reverend Michael Langrish, the Bishop of Exeter, has agreed to become patron of Wambli Ska Win Vision UK.
