To all believers in the United Kingdom

Dearly loved Friends,

As you may be aware, the National Spiritual Assembly of the United Kingdom is one of a number of National Assemblies selected by the Universal House of Justice to participate in the international financial collaboration programme.  This means the National Assembly is entrusted, at the direction of the House of Justice, to periodically assist its sister National Assemblies around the world in financial undertakings.

The National Assembly is delighted to inform you that the House of Justice has called upon our community to assist the National Spiritual Assembly of Burkina with the construction of Bahá’í centres in Baskuy and Boulmiougou and the protection of several properties, including its Temple land.

The contribution specified for the United Kingdom to raise towards this goal is US$44,400 (approximately £36,277).  For your information, the National Spiritual Assembly set a goal to raise £270,000 (£54,000 per annum) for international collaboration goals during the current Five Year Plan 2016-2021.  Presently there is £144,151.31 in that fund; £27,000 of which has been raised this year.  In additional to the above, contributions have already been assigned during this Plan to assisting in the construction and capital expenses of the National Ḥazíratu’l-Quds in Nepal, as well as construction of a boundary wall for its Temple site (£41,913), and projects in Liberia (£31,709).
