Appeal For Relief To Vavuniya Hospital

Posted on March 30, 2009

To all concerned: We hope to send/take the first delivery of emergency relief to Vavuniya Hospital on Friday. We have focused on Crutches, Medicines and Mattresses. We have raised 250 crutches. We have also gathered various quantities of basic medicines, though more is needed.

We need to raise 100 mattresses (Our price from Arpico is Rs.2,750 per mattress), if we could each buy one and/or get our friends to do the same, we will have enough.  Pls contact us if you can you can donate to this.

Medicine: Sarika will be purchasing medicine this week, as per list on page 11.  If you wish to donate, please contact her or use the contact form here. Or buy the medicines and give to us.

We hope to take 3 lorries across on Friday evening.  ACT representatives will accompany the delivery.  If you are free to travel, please contact me.

Attached is the new and updated proposal.  Please use it to appeal for donations.  Just on private donations (rather than corporate), we will have enough to take across.
