After the longstanding and depressing news-diet of inflation, unemployment, hate crimes and death, my spirits soared on reading of the charity day in which members of Hindu, Jewish and Christian faiths combined to work together for charity (“Faiths united for charity day”, Times Series, September 29).

What a breath of fresh air, but what a pity, such a concept is limited to one day? I sincerely hope the goodwill engendered on this occasion will inspire the community to expand and continue this work, and the attitudes that promoted them.
