A moment of peace....


 

 

Hello Tim,

Every fortnight I have the joy of writing to you about our work together.

Today feels particularly joyful because I get to talk about something I’m deeply
passionate about…

Puddings.

Christmas puddings, to be specific.

Christmas puddings which, thanks to the kindness of our friends at the Adamstown
Pudding Kitchen in NSW, will help raise funds to support Act for Peace partners
this year.

Now, I know when it comes to Christmas puddings, there’s a lot of opinions on
what creates the perfect balance of fruit and flavour.

So, what makes these puddings so special?

Well, according to the kitchen’s manager, Janet, there are a few rare
ingredients:

welfare projects since 1971. Credit: Adamstown Pudding Kitchen


 

A rich history. It was over 50 years ago, when a member of the Adamstown Uniting
Church turned to her grandmother’s pudding recipe to help raise money for her
brother returning from the Vietnam War.

Janet tells me, "She started making Christmas puddings at home and then it took
off from there. Eventually we built a commercial kitchen and since we’ve been
selling from the store here and then moved online. This year is the first year
we’ve moved into the retail market too."

prepare the puddings for sale. Credit: Adamstown Pudding Kitchen



A caring community of volunteers.

"A lot of the work, the wrapping of the puddings, dry mixing of the dried fruit
for the puddings is done by volunteers. They come in once a week... It creates
such a beautiful sense of community, everyone working together."

A shared purpose.

"I love working with food. But I think what's really wonderful about our work is
that we’re also raising funds for welfare projects. I think we all need to be
mindful and aware and supportive of those who aren't as fortunate."

This year, the kitchen is donating a portion of its pudding sales to the Act for
Peace Christmas Bowl, to support our partners and share hope with refugees this
Christmas by providing food, care and lifesaving support.

"We’re all working towards a common good, it’s a lovely thing", says Janet.

When the world feels heavy, you only need to look around our community, to
passionate people like Janet and her team of volunteers, to see hope.

Working together, with compassion and empathy, is the only way we will tackle
the displacement crisis.

Tim, I want to thank you for supporting us and continuing to back our local
partners to help displacement-affected people around the world.

Take care as we head into these final months of the year,

Emma - Act for Peace team
