Greetings, CTU Members and Friends –
Our beloved and long-time members, Gur Mouanga and Fred Benning, need our help! Any donation will be greatly appreciated. Details are at the bottom of our newsletter.
Following an independent investigation, Nolu was dismissed in December. We are grateful for her service to our community for the past four years, and we are sad to see her go. An update would be available shortly.
With love and light,
Nima

Fundraising
Fred Benning’s wife, Denise, became paralysed after back surgery with a rare (0.5% likelihood) side effect. As a result she needs a full-time carer in their home. Fred asks that you read his loving request on BackaBuddy: https://www.backabuddy.co.za/campaign/fred-and-denise
Gur’s GoFundMe link: https://gofund.me/150067d08
We almost have the money needed to change Gur and his family’s life dramatically for the better by getting their permanent residency approved. Most have donated via EFT to CTU. If you’d like to give in that way, here are the details: Unitarian Church, Standard Bank, account # 070440719, Swift Code SBZAZAJJ. 50 people giving R500 will achieve our goal! 5 people giving R5,000 works as well. Any amount is appreciated.
Council Updates
Next Council meeting is Sunday 18 January 12-2 pm: All are welcome. If you would like the packet of documents, contact Nima at NimaJanetTaylor@gmail.com.
