Fighting for life Sister Joan Clare MMI Goals

There are constantly many major emergencies around us and are published and advertised awareness via news & papers and leaflet drops/mail. I would like to highlight in this page, the work and call for awareness and support for Health, Healing & Hope in Sudan's Emergencies through "Medical Mission International" (Registered Charity No. 4798450). Quoting some phrases and information from a postal drop I received today and my interpretation of it, I trust that you will be able to be as concerned as I felt...

Thousands of children are fighting for their lives!

Reading the info, details the cases:

• A young boy died because he hadn't eaten for weeks.

• A 3 year old girl who died because she drunk water from a well from her village that was contaminated by offensives by throwing dead bodies of people they has massacred into the water.

• At the age of 5, a boy died from exhaustion because he had been walking for days and nights trying to find a refugee camp. He died a few miles before arriving there.

• Dying from dysentery, a little boy was unable to resist. His father had been killed a few weeks earlier and his mother who had gone out of the camp to find food for him, was captured, raped and murdered by offensives lurking outside. This little boy died alone and was only 3!

There countless distressing stories like this and so many victims and the tragedy keeps growing daily. The above are cases are victims of murderous madness sweeping Sudan.

Medical Mission International is a humanitarian organisation with the aim to find relief against a brick wall of political mad genocide. The only counter attack is medicines, re-hydration packs and survival food rations. But, to enable this, they need the support from us all to combat the colossal hundreds and thousands of people who are suffering and dying.

Medical Mission International are urging donations to bring some form of fruition to their mission and give the gift of life back to these devastated communities.

(As at 24.03.2006) ... Antibiotics will save 50 children for only £17 ... Survival food rations will allow one child to get well again for £27. Receipts are issued to donors for donations over £15.

For every gift of £1 that Sister Joan Clare receives, there is a further donation contributed from the Inland Revenue for .28 pence when selected for "Gift Aid".

I am fully aware, due to my direct support for "World Concerns" in my website here and my internal connections to Charities, that it is a major task to develop fundraising as in itself actually costs money in the first place to organise. So I look to you, the reader of this, to consider forwarding a donation to MMI or give them a call and speak to them to arrange information or donation over the phone...
