  • INTERVIEWEES

    Kat Callo
    American-born Kat set up the charity “Project Mosaic” as a response to the death of her cousin, David Fontana, a fire fighter who was killed on 9/11. Kat felt passionately that steps had to be taken to encourage tolerance and multi-faith dialogue, and Project Mosaic aims to allow people to explore difficult issues to do with religion, race, national identity, and values, in a safe environment. One of Project Mosaic’s initiatives is a YouTube film competition where young people make a 2 minute film exploring tolerance. ??

    Tariq Chowdhury ?
    Tariq is the winner of the Project Mosaic Young Filmmakers YouTube Competition. His film explores how the principle of being good to others is an idea expressed in all major world religions. Tariq’s belief is that everybody is connected regardless of religion. ?The full version of his film and others from the competition are available to watch on the Project Mosaic website.

    Incredible Edible
    In the West Yorkshire town of Todmorden, the residents have started growing vegetables and trees around the town using any spare land such as areas at the fire station, police station and even the churchyard. Aled meets one of Incredible Edible’s founders to discover why the residents of Todmorden are digging their vegetables.

    Acts435
    Acts435 is a new charity inspired by the words of Acts chapter 4, verse 35. Its website allows people to give money directly to others who are in need: there are people in our communities who need financial help, and there are people who want to help those in need and Acts 435 puts those people together. The whole thing is managed through local church networks. An applicant in need applies to a local Church for help; an advocate at the churches receives and verifies the request; the requests for help are posted on the Acts 435 website, and donors meet the needs directly by making a payment via a secure system online. 100% of the money goes directly to those in need: the costs of running the charity are met by GiftAid donations and sponsorship.
