Dear Mr. Abdolian,
For many, the holidays are a time for giving. This year, rather than asking for a "traditional" gift, you can sign up to accept donations from friends and family on behalf of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) instead.
You'll be helping us provide lifesaving medical services to people coping with armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition and natural disasters around the world. Right now, our field teams are responding to a cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe, an upsurge of violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and providing HIV treatment to those who would otherwise have no access to treatment.
Click here to register, and get started right away. You'll be able to create a customized personal page and email your friends and family to let them know you are asking for your gifts to be made to Doctors Without Borders this year.
In all the countries where we work, Doctors Without Borders is committed to providing lifesaving medical care that is neutral, independent, and free from any agendas—be they religious, political, military, or economic. We base our assistance on the principles of humanitarian action and medical ethics, treating patients based on need and need alone.
Thanks to loyal supporters like you, Doctors Without Borders is at work right now saving the lives of women, men and children in more than 60 countries. Still, our medical teams will continue to face huge humanitarian crises in 2009.
So this year, help us continue to save lives around the world. Ask your friends, family and co-workers to make their gift to you, a gift to Doctors Without Borders. Your generosity will help to provide medical humanitarian aid to those most in need.
Signed,
Nicolas de Torrente
