Ärzte für Kinder in Not
DOCTORS FOR CHILDREN IN NEED
Children in developing countries seldom have the chance of receiving
appropriate medical care. Malnutrition, infectious diseases,
deformities, burn injuries and crippled conditions often remain untreated
- either the children die or suffer the consequences for the
rest of their lives. Medical care is often hardly possible, as the costs
for treatment would ruin their families financially. Together with
other voluntary doctors, I make repeated journeys at my own cost
during my holidays into countries and crisis regions in the world
where there is insufficient medical care in order to provide voluntary
help. This personal and often shocking confrontation with countless,
usually poverty-stricken, sick and generally helpless children
caused me to found my own charitable trust in 2005. Thanks to the
substantial commitment shown by the voluntary doctors in situ and
the enormous generosity of the donors, I have been able to provide
targeted and sustainable medical aid for more than 1,500 children
so far. The focus of my work has comprised up to now projects in
Nepal, India und Bhutan. I would like to invite you to find out more
about the actual projects. I would be extremely pleased if you, too,
would be prepared to contribute towards this aid for our little patients,
which has rescued multiple lives.
