Dear Friend,
I am going to the Gaza Strip to work voluntarily, as an acupuncturist, in the Occupied Territories for two weeks in October this year.
I will be part of a group of health practitioners, who are mostly acupuncturists, helping to treat citizens and refugees suffering from the physical and emotional effects of trauma and war. My aim is for this project to be ongoing and will include training the local medical teams so that they can continue our work.
I am raising money for a charity, World Medicine and I'd really appreciate your support.
Your donation would be greatly appreciated. Donations are needed to cover the cost of travel, lodgings, translators and equipment. It's easy to donate online by credit or debit card - just go to my Justgiving page
www.justgiving.com/Gisela-Norman
Justgiving sends your donation straight to World Medicine and automatically reclaims Gift Aid if you're a UK taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more.
For more information on the charity, do visit www.worldmedicine.org.uk
Please reply to me if you would like to receive our report of the Project on our return.
It would really help us greatly if you could forward this email to your contacts for a wider chance of raising the funds.
With very many thanks and best wishes.
Gisela
