Dimes for Africa |
|
We had an abbreviated yet enthusiastic first year collecting dimes on our Northern California District. Things have progressed well since then. Here are the numbers of dimes and churches in the last four years:
Church Year Churches Participating Number of Dimes
1) 2002-2003 12 108,000
2) 2003-2004 26 497,000
3) 2004-2005 30 683,000
4) 2005-2006 43 1,417,000
It takes “ONE dime to feed ONE person for ONE day” so there are lots of ways to think about the impact these dimes are making.
For instance:
1) It takes 365 dimes, or $36.50, to feed one person for an entire year
2) In Year #1, 108,000 dimes fed 108,000 people for a day... 108,000 dimes fed 296 people for an entire year
3) In Year #2, 497,000 dimes fed 497,000 people for a day... 497,000 dimes fed 1,362 people for an entire year
4) In Year #3, 683,000 dimes fed 683,000 people for a day... 683,000 dimes fed 1,871 people for an entire year
5) In Year #4, 1,417,000 dimes fed 1,417,000 people for a day... 1,417,000 dimes fed 3,882 people for an entire year
