Sudanese children need your help

You can save hundreds of children.
300 thousand Sudanese people are facing death - you can help them.
£30 can keep (or at least help saving) around 130 Sudanese children alive for about 3 months...

Good afternoon

Although it sounds a bit like a spam, it seems that this is the clear and horrible truth.
Sudan has been the centre of a series of conflicts between tribes and government , mainly fighting with Arab militia. The country is the scene (as it announced in the official publications) of the world’s largest “humanitarian“ crisis. It is estimated that in the coming months the death toll will be more than 300 thousand people.( some talk of up to one million)
The crisis is the result of the war, the subsequent displaced people and complicated by recent raging floods.
Please forgive me (even if this may sound silly or sad) but I do not know much about the subject (and I am damn busy) - more info you will be able to find on the addresses given below.

(please uk indy collective to fit this information in the main column...)

The case is quite specific.

UNICEF has organised aid, for every £30 can keep (or at least help saving) around 130 Sudanese children alive for about 3 months.

I don’t like and I don’t want to support the UN administration (even though UNICEF exist only on their agenda and the amount of money looks pretty impressive) and also I wouldn’t like to support any bank, which causes similar conflicts (those institution rely on international banking system), I propose something entirely different:
-- To contact UNICEF - and find out about the nature of aid and the background of the problem
-- to organise individually (through our own or some independent intergroup/collective/organisation support action) - aid and fundraising for those in need.
-- to find volunteers, who would like to go to Sudan (maybe we should start from this in the first place; in case of lack of volunteers, I could go myself, but I know nothing about first aid)
(this information has reached two countries Poland and Britain - so maybe we could organise something of two - or more national aid)

Please spread the news around…

It seems like there is only 80 days left (but it would be better to contact them and find out). To organise it smoothly, please contact us (with a specific aid offers - including details of the organisation of the whole venture) on this address:

UNICEF press information
Children of Darfuru are trapped in a terrible conflict having destructive impact on their lives.
Over million of people have fled from their homes, and hundreds of them have lost their lives. There are serious deficiencies in water and shelters.
From the beginning UNICEF has concentrated on saving childrens lives, ensuring they have an access to the safe, clean, fresh water, sanitation and medical help.
Their life is even in more danger at the moment - the forthcoming rain season will trigger many illnesses and poisoning from the lack of sufficient shelters. The existing shelters are overcrowded. UNICEF urgently needs the basic supply for those who are in an immediate danger before dry roads are flooded cutting off the access to help.

£30 will ensure 130 children first aid for 3 months.

The Sudanese childrens survival is dependent on UNICEF. Now we rely on you.
