Junior Church Flower Quiz

Harvest Help

This year we are raising money to support the charity "Harvest Help". Harvest Help helps the rural poor in Africa. It supports more than 145,000 people a year in Zambia, Malawi, Ghana and Toga by promoting sustainable farming. Practical help is provided so that families can grow enough food and earn a living. More information can be found at www.harvesthelp.org.

This year the Children and Young People are raising money to support the charity ‘Harvest Help’. As part of this effort, and for a bit of fun, they put together this 'Flower Quiz'. Members and friends are asked to contribute £1 for a chance, if they can answer all the questions correctly, to win a prize. See how well you can do. Answers will be published once the quiz is over (after 18th November 2007)
