Disaster Help
The
Baghdad Orphanage
On
26th December 2004 most of the world was shocked when
the news of a Tsunami wave in the Indian Ocean and
the devastation it caused came through and interrupted
worldwide Christmas celebrations. This was the spur
for several likeminded people to get together and
get Involved with Charity work.
Steve
Cooke & Emma Lothian traveled out to Sri Lanka
and assessed what could be done, and had a backbone
of people who wanted to get Involved in the various
projects that had been brought back.
Steve
has been involved with Humanitarian, War & Civil
Conflict, and various other situations that have required
immediate help; last year he helped get Aid out to
the Hurricane hit Island of Grenada.
Emma
is Deaf, and has done many Deaf Charity Projects,
including work in Africa.
The
Majority of WDH Steering Committee are experienced
in various aspects of Charity and Charity Work. We
have pooled our resources so that we can help some
of the people of Sri Lanka get back to Work, we are
planning the project over time so that we can get
a good Peace message behind our work, good organisation
and be able to help Sri Lanka communicate to and show
the 'outside world' what Aid is and isn't getting
through, also to show where Aid is needed, and where
it is not.
Disasters
are not a new thing to the world, there are many that
go unnoticed every year.
The
people involved have a long term objective and a desire
to help victims in the immediate aftermath of disasters,
and help to get the affected region 'back on it's
feet'.
Earthquakes,
famine, disease and hurricanes (to name a few) must
always get the developed worlds attention, Rollo Davidson
and McFarlane have kindly Sponsored us in the setting
up of our Charity status.
