St George’s Day is on Friday 23rd April 2010 and to celebrate one man’s battle against a mighty foe, the Concern Worldwide gift shop is asking you to help their fight against one of the world’s biggest adversaries – the battle against malnutrition. With over one billion people across the globe going to bed hungry every night, now is the time to join the cause and help slay this worldwide dragon.
You can help Concern to end this travesty by purchasing a charity gift from their online shop, and for just £16 could buy 20 sachets of Plumpynut for a malnourished child. This wonderful, life-saving stuff is packed full of the vitamins and nutrients an underweight child needs to regain their health. And as the sachets can be taken home, it means children and parents don’t have to spend months away from home at a treatment centre.
Your gift of £16 could help a child just like Abraham Awdiro from Ethiopia who was just a year old and weighed only 9lbs when he was brought to one of our centres. He was so weak he was unable to eat. But thanks to careful treatment and rations of Plumpynut and he is now a happy, healthy child.
The legend of George and the Dragon is the story of how just one person really can make a difference and you can be a saint this April by purchasing a Concern Gift and helping to end malnutrition.
