We Show Support for Doctors Without Borders
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is a medical, humanitarian organization created by doctors and journalists in France in 1971. It operates in over 60 countries, mostly helping those who are victims of war, natural disaster and malnutrition. In 1999, they won the Noble Peace Prize. The same year, they began operating in South Africa. Here they face the challenges of refugees, HIV and TB.
Doctors Without Borders fundraisers and Chaplin's Staff
For 2 weeks, a Durban fundraising team from Doctors Without Borders parked themselves in Knysna in order to bring awareness to the cause.
The KEEP and Chaplin’s Coffee Bar were quick to contribute and the 5 ladies were treated to coffee and lunch every day for the duration of their Woodmill Lane stay.
Good people!
Yep, we could do with them here! Then again, we have so many doctors and dentists in town, wouldn’t it be lovely if they all gave up their big fees one day per month and banded together for duty in the poorer areas.
