It's Christmas & Hanukah
It’s really special that Christmas and Hanukah fell at exactly the same time this year. A family-time in the UK and overseas; whatever religion, everyone gets together. So at this time, we can’t help thinking of those overseas in Northern Iraq and Syria, who have suffered and witnessed atrocities and horrors of war; lost their loved ones; sitting in devastation, or in tents in the wet mud; or fleeing from ongoing terror, in the bitter cold. We think of those who are injured and in need of medical attention. Of those people in Aleppo, who are fleeing for their lives; babes in arms. Elderly hobbling; struggling to keep up on the long, unknown road ahead. Please help us to help them. Read More

Helping the refugees
James Greer, our GAP year intern has just returned from ten days visiting the camps outside Erbil, fifty miles from Mosul, in Kurdistan. “I left high school in London this summer, and wanted to do something to help. It’s difficult to express the emotions I felt as I went into the camps; I knew that the conditions in the camps were bad, but what I saw was unimaginable and inhumane. Kids walking around with no shoes on with dirty plasters on their feet from injuries caused by running in the burning dirt all day.” Read More
We need your help please to do more. To deliver more as people are freezing to death in the shocking conditions of the refugee camps. We have the goods ready to send. If you would like to consider a really special gift for an unknown family, then please help us deliver the truck full of goods. You, your family/friends, or your company, could sponsor your own truck of goods. Help Here

A letter from Viroelia; Kishinev, Moldova

We send goods to other communities in great need. Read this letter of thanks from Moldova. “I would like to once again thank you for renewing the humanitarian aid program for Moldova and giving back hope to so many! That means that multiple families and elderly will have a chance of receiving necessary goods and clothing, and they will be able to use the saved money for extra medicine or groceries. I was talking with the clients that were lucky enough to already receive the humanitarian aid, and I've seen their eyes filled with joy and gratitude” Read Letter
