Latest News from the DRC - December 18th 2008

From Anatole in Goma (Translated from the French).

Hallo to you all,

Thanks you for your support; it has made it possible to provide warm meals for some of the children for the first time this month but we desperately need more help.  The problems do not diminish, now we face a new challenge, Cholera has broken out in the refugee camps and we urgently need ORS (Oral Redydration Salts) and water purification tablets.

This should be the season of peace - but the guns are still firing; the fighting is spasmodic but we fear an increase in violence at any time.

May peace come soon

Anatole 

 Michael Burt CEO; our sincere thanks for your support and the donations we have received. We are a small organisation without vast financial reserves to call on; it has always been our protocol that all the money we raise goes directly to our projects.  We still desperately need your help to save these young innocent lives.
