Violence in Darfur is escalating. It is heartbreaking to think that more villages have been torched this year, than ever before, yet the world is silent, but this is not the worst problem the people of Darfur have to face. Children are starving in the villages but no one is helping. We simply have to do everything possible to prevent people from forgetting Darfur. There are so many other regions in the world who face tragedy but something Kids for Kids can say with certainty is that the help the you are enabling us to give to children in remote villages really is helping us to transform their lives.
Last year there were eighteen villages on our shortlist, when we were having to decide which five we would be able to adopt in 2014. Of course we wished it had been all of them because each village leader reported children dying from starvation or malaria in 2013. Although we could not adopt all eighteen, we have just completed delivery of mosquito nets to all of them, in time to combat the onslaught of mosquitoes with the coming rains.
It is these simple grassroots preventive measures that are the key to so much of what we do. Next month for example, paravets and first aid workers will start their training. The result will be small health problems, in both animals and humans, prevented in many cases from becoming more serious. Anything we can do to help people so far away from assistance makes a difference. Our goats continue to transform the lives of children and their families.
Thank you for remembering Darfur.
