BRITAIN: CHRISTIAN AID LAUNCHES SURFAID TO RAISE MONEY

(ACNS) Christian Aid, the relief and development agency of the British
Churches, has launched an innovative Internet access scheme to raise
money for charity on the Internet.  The scheme called SurfAid enables
Internet users to contribute towards Third World projects while surfing
the Internet.

SurfAid is the first major service of its kind in the UK.  Through
Global Internet, a major UK Internet Service Provider, SurfAid gives a
proportion of its member subscriptions fees to Christian Aid projects.

For an annual equivalent of 7.50 a month +tax, SurfAid offers its
subscribers a range of features including local call rate access,
unlimited time online, multiple email accounts, 56K technology, both USR
and Motorola, award-winning technical support and 3MB free web space all
provided by Global Internet.

The SurfAid site on the Internet is at www.surfaid.org or call 0870 907
