On the 7th April this year we received the following three messages, following the safe arrival of the fifth consignment:

“Dear John and Friends,

Thank you for the shipment. We appreciate your cooperation and help. God bless you all. If you do not mind, could you send the following medical supplies… Best Regards, Jaffar” Dr Jaffar al-Ghaban

“Thank God for this help…” Professor Ibrahim al-Nassir

“As an Iraqi Doctor, it is an honour to support you. I would like to thank you and your colleagues for your continuous support to the Iraqi People…

Please let me know if you need help in the future.

Best Regards, Radhwan.”
Radhwan Sultan, Assistant Director, British Consul, Iraq.

Every item we send is at the request of the medical team and is of great importance for sick and vulnerable children.

We are now raising funds for the sixth consignment and we are particularly grateful for the help we are receiving from Father Paul Farrer and his team; Dave Allen, Middlesbrough Football Club and the Knights of St Columba, as well as many other generous supporters.

As usual donations for the sixth consignment can be sent to Father Damian Humphries, Monastery of Our Lady of Mount Grace, 18 North End, Osmotherley, Northallerton, North Yorkshire, DL6 3BB (and may be gift aided).

For more information on this vital project or how you can make a donation, please contact John Hinman on 01642 700075 or e-mail: jnhinman@gmail.com

The private passion we feel for our own children should become an open, public passion for all children.
