Ladies and Gentlemen,
In direct response to earlier call by Victor Nwanso for help in raising the fund needed to provide the sick and poor in Anambra state with free medical care, Dr. Allison Anadi called to pledge a donation of $2000 on behalf of Oraeri In Diaspora. Dr. Anadi named the following individuals as those who either contributed to the cash donation or donating their services in this year's mission.
1. Dr. Allison Anadi
2. Mr. Lawrence Ibekilo
3. Mrs. Vicky Agba (nee Ogbuawa)
4. Dr. Matthias Ogbuawa
5. Dr. Jerome Nnagu
6. Dr. Eugene and Mrs. Margaret Iloanusi
7. Mr. Ignatius Ilo etc
May I also use this opportunity to appeal to other Town Unions, ASA-USA Chapters, Ndi Igbo and well-wishers to emulate the leadership and generosity shown by Oraeri people and make their timely donations to allow us to purchase our drugs and supplies and have them shipped to Anambra State ahead of the Medical Mission.
Like Mr. Nwanso indicated, I am in Nigeria and have noted the huge disparity in people's ability to afford basic medical care. The need for our services can not possibly be greater, those joining the ranks of poor and deprived are at all time high and wherever I go the question is "when is ASA-USA mission team arriving". We urge you to rise and support those who have no capacity to repay you or even to say "thanks". Your reward comes from our maker.
