As a group of friends and colleagues from across the Diocese of Galloway we are taking part in the Edinburgh Kiltwalk in memory of our wonderful friend Fr Martin Chambers who inspired us all to love and help those less fortunate than ourselves.

The Martin Chambers Ecuador Trust was set up in 2006 to support the lives of those who live in the poorest conditions in Ecuador. It was started up to support the work of Fr. Martin while he worked on the missions in Ecuador’s largest city, Guayaquil from 2004-2009.

When Fr. Martin returned to Scotland in 2009, the work of the Trust continued. It supports the poorest people in various parts of Ecuador: in feeding programmes; in supporting educational projects; and in giving the people there a helping hand as they set up their community amongst the poorest conditions.

As long as poverty, injustice and inequality persist none of us can truly rest. It doesn’t take much to change a life.
