Gifts

Rather than having a set wedding list, we have chosen to nominate a particular charity for donations. We do not expect any gifts, but if you wish you can make a donation to this cause.

In the summers of 2008 and 2009, Ruth worked at SIM's (Serving in Mission) Galmi Hospital in Niger, west Africa. Niger is bottom of the Human Development Index globally. In fact, unless you're one of the few in the uranium trade, there's not a lot of hope for many of its citizens, particularly due to recent drought and political upheaval.

Galmi hospital is particularly important, as for a huge swathe of the country it offers the only real medical support, particularly for any kind of specialist care. As a Christian hospital right in the country's heart, there is a huge need for the competent and compassionate medical care provided.

You can read more about the work at Galmi here. Donations can be given to us (just mark them in some way as being for Galmi, and we'll collect them all up for delivery.)

Alternatively, you can make an online donation through the SIM UK website here - quoting Galmi Hospital and SIM Project # NE-84400 when prompted.
