URGENT APPEAL FOR THE FLOOD VICTIMS OF ETHIOPIA

As we all aware of, recently Flood hit the region of Dire Dawa City,

Omo region, Bahir dar ,Tigray and other parts of Ethiopia killing hundreds and displacing over 200,000 people.  Though we did not respond immediately to the flood victims, we still could contribute what ever we can to help ease the burden of our people. 

Due to this flood Diarrhea killed hundreds and infected thousands of people and many more are at risk of water born diseases including cholera.   And as we all can imagine with our country sanitary situation the death toll could rise at an alarming rate.

Right now UNICEF has launched an emergency appeal for $18.35 million to provide food, shelter and medicine for those struggling to survive.  So our plan is to collect the money and send it through

UNICEF. 

(If you are writing a cheque make it payable to UNICEF CANADA they provide Tax receipt for $25.00 and above)
