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.
In recent days, the House of Justice has called upon our community to assist financially with continuing construction and renovation projects of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of Liberia, including work on its National Ḥazíratu’l-Quds and the Bahá’í Development Institute. The contribution specified for the United Kingdom to raise towards this goal is US$40,456 (approx. £31,700).
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 £177,916 in that fund, £27,577 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 of the National Ḥazíratu’l-Quds in the Bahamas (£29,083), and projects in Liberia (£18,722).

With loving Bahá’í greetings,
