■ Christmas period. As a result, more than £700 has been sent


, to help needy Chris­ tian families in those areas.


Since the troubles between Israel and Palestine began in 2000, the number of pilgrims visiting Bethlehem has been drastically reduced, causing a drop in income described as


"catastrophic". Some families are


existing on as little as £3 a day.


Bright lights


Two Whalley families who have brought festive brightness to Limefield Avenue, have surpassed all expectations by rais­ ing £2,093. 80p for charity. :


The Edwardsons of number 3 and 5 Limefield Avenue, decorate their houses for Christmas and invited the public to walk round - and enjoy the spectacle


and donate money for charity.


Last year the families raised £1,237 for the North West Air Ambulance and this time the Make a Wish Foundation will benefit.


The money will go towards bringing a time of magic and joy into children’s lives as the charity grants the wishes of children aged three to 18,years living with life-threatening illness.
