CHRISTIAN AID WEEK - WYTHNOS CYMORTH CRISTNOGOL

This year's Christian Aid Week (2009) is on May 10-16. Ammanford's Churches and Chapels, who are all supporters of Fairtrade, will be taking part in the week. The start of the activities was a Bilingual United Bilingual Service on Sunday night at 5.30 at Gellimanwydd Chapel. Then during the week members of Ammanford's Chapels and Churches will be undetaking the street collections. The red and white envelopes are well known to everyone by now and the support from Ammanford residents is always an honourable one. The week will come to an end on Friday 15 May, when members of the Church in Wales will be holding a coffee morning at the Church Hall, Wind Street from 10 -12.

Cynehlir Wythnos Cymorth Cristnogol eleni ar Mai 10-16. I ddechrau'r gweithgareddau byddwn yn cynnal Gwasanaeth Undebol dwyieithog yng Ngellimanwydd am 5.30 Nos Sul y 10ed. Yna yn ystod yr wythnos bydd aelodau capeli ac eglwysi Rhydaman yn casglu ar draws y dref. Mae'r amlenni coch a gwyn yn gyfarwydd iawn i bawb bellach ac mae cefnogaeth Rhydaman wastad yn anrhydeddus dros ben. Bydd yr wythnos yn dod i ben ar 15 Mai pan fydd aelodau yr Eglwys yng Nghymru yn cynnal bore coffi yn Neuadd yr Eglwys, Stryd y Gwynt am 10 -12

WEBSITE LAUNCH - LANSIAD Y WEFAN

The Global Day event held at the Cwmaman Youth Centre on 9th May to celebrate World Fair Trade Day was an ideal setting for us to launch our website.

There was so much interest locally during fairtrade fortnight this year, with the schools' fairtrade banana relay race, the record breaking fairtrade banana split in the arcade, and the visit to the town of fairtrade banana farmer Bella Joachim, that we wanted to let everyone keep up to date with other campaigns and events we're involved with throughout the year.

So if you want to know what's happening locally, and globally with fairtrade then just check the ammanford fairtrade group's website for the latest up to date information.

Phil Broadhurst, Fairtrade group member commented : "Such a lovely international event provides a perfect day for us to officially launch our website, ww.ammanfordfairtrade.blogspot.com ."

Roedd y digwyddiad Dydd Byd Eang a gafodd ei gynnal yng Nghanolfan Adnoddau Ieuenctid Cwmaman ar Fai 9ed i ddathlu Diwrnod Masnach Deg y Byd yn gyfle gwych i ni lansio ein gwefan.

Roedd cymaint o ddiddordeb yn lleol yn ystod pythefnos Masnach Deg eleni, gyda ras gyfenwid bananas masnach deg, y banana split enfawr yn yr Arcade, ac ymweliad ffermwraig banana Masnach Deg, Bella Joachim a’r dref, fel roedden ni eisiau gadael i bawb wybod beth sy’n digwydd gyda ein ymgyrchoedd a digwyddiadau eraill yn ystod y flwyddyn.

Felly os ydych eisiau gweld beth sy’n digwydd yn lleol ac yn Genedlaethol a derbyn newyddion am Fasnach Deg ar draws y byd yna ewch i'r wefan am y newyddion diweddaraf.

Dywedodd Phil Broadhurst, aelod o'r grwp Masnach Deg “Mae gweithgaredd rhyngwladol hyfryd fel hwn yn ddiwrnod perffaith i ni lansio ein gwefan http://www.ammanfordfairtrade.blogspot.com/

WORLD FAIR TRADE DAY - GLOBAL DAY - DIWRNOD MASNACH DEG Y BYD - DIWRNOD BYD EANG

To celebrate World Fair Trade Day a Global Day was held at Cwmamman Youth Resource Centre on Saturday 9th May. The event was organised by UNA Exchange, Carmarthenshire Council and Amman Youth Forum.

The event was a great success. There was plenty of food from around the world to taste. We had dance workshop with Jac y Do, the Welsh Folk Group leading us. A workshop on African Drumming which had us all pulsating to the beat. The more adventurous of us tried their hand at climbing the vertical wall.
Members of the Ammanford Fairtrade Group were there. We had a stall to promote fairtrade. We also launched our website at the event.

I ddathlu Diwrnod Masnach Deg y Byd cynhaliwyd Diwrnod Byd Eang yng Nghanolfan Adnoddau Ieuenctid Glanaman ar Sadwrn Mai 9ed. Roedd y diwgwyddiad wedi ei drefnu gan UNA Exchange, Cyngor Sir Caerfyrddin a Fforwm Ieuenctid Rhydaman.

Roedd y digwyddiad yn lwyddiant ysgubol. Roedd yna ddigon o fwydydd gwahanol o bob rhan o'r byd. Cawsom dwmpath dawns gan Jac y Do , y grwp Gwerin Cymraeg. Roedd gweithdai Drymio Affricanaidd. Ar gyfer y rhai mwy mentrus roedd wal ddringo.

Roedd aelodau grwp Masnach Deg Rhydaman yno gyda stondin i hyrwyddo masnach deg ac i lansio wefan y grwp http://www.ammanfordfairtrade.blogspot.com/
