EMERGENCY AID NEEDED NOW - DROUGHT IS ALREADY DEVASTATING DARFUR - surface water is dry and the harvest has failed. Can you help? CLIMATE CHANGE brings disaster in Darfur Fears grow for children in remote villages "Children will die in the coming weeks unless action is taken now" warned Patricia Parker. Kids for Kids is calling on the international community to plan for a swift intervention for remote communities, not just for those in the camps. Meanwhile donations are urgently needed to help mend existing pumps in rural areas, to provide new handpumps, and for donkeys. Global warming causing devastation in Darfur KIDS FOR KIDS is bringing long term help to villagers - despite the conflict. Our help is transforming children's lives which have been devastated because of the conflict. Our self help projects bring immediate benefit to families and strengthen whole communities - enabling people to stay in their homes. It has never been more important to enable families to help themselves. To see how our projects are progressing read about the way we help children in About Us or read Patricia's Blog and find out how we help families improve their lives - in the midst of conflict. There is life beyond the camps - but KIDS FOR KIDS is virtually the only organisation helping children who are living lives of inconceivable - and inexcusable - hardship. We don't believe in charity - we believe in giving people the dignity and ability to help themselves. We achieve so much by keeping administration as low as possible - so that you really know how your help is making a difference to children - and how your donations are used! If you have any questions please ask us! contact@kidsforkids.org.uk YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS COULD GIVE A GOAT OR A DONKEY - OR HELP AN ENTIRE VILLAGE! Villages are small, made up of clusters of huts, it costs from just £34,000 to adopt an entire community. Think what a difference you could make! By introducing integrated projects - small perhaps to us but an impossible dream to a mother in Darfur - a goat loan, training a village midwife, providing a donkey, teaching a family better farming techniques, giving a mother a blanket for her baby, and, above all helping to provide clean water - KIDS FOR KIDS transforms a village and people can go home.

GIVE A GOAT TO A FRIEND, AND A BLANKET TO A CHILD - WE ARE SHOWING YOU HOW EVERYONE OF US HAS THE CHANCE OF CHANGING THINGS FOR THE BETTER!	KATHY DONALDSON IN AMERICA It is never easy losing a friend, but when it is someone as special, as unique, as exceptional, as Kathy, then words cannot describe the sense of loss. Kathy sadly passed away after a long brave battle against cancer. She was the inspiration for our US FRIENDS OF KIDS FOR KIDS and ran it from her home in Oregon. Kathy's family supported her in everything she did and our thanks are beyond words to Jeremy, Cassidy and little Jack. Lois & Roger her parents are part of the Kathy team but it was Cassidy who, aged 6, inspired by her mother's vision of helping children across the world, raised funds for goats to give children milk. A simple wish which has inspired hundreds of people - of all ages. Kathy will be missed, but never forgotten. There will be a celebration of her life on Saturday 19th June in Oregon at the church where Kathy staged the first Notes for Goats with the children of Corvallis. For further information: for details of the service and to learn how to further Kathy's dream These are just some of the projects which Kids for Kids have done In the last 12 months: • Training 4,077 persons from 29 villages in Animal Husbandry to transform animal care • Providing 2,400 goats as loans to 445 families during this year alone whilst a further 742 goats were passed on to 132 families by existing beneficiaries as repayment for their initial loan of goats • 1,794 blankets and 1,270 mosquito nets have been distributed to 897 of the poorest households in 28 villages • donkeys have been provided to 775 of the poorest families • 25 paravets were trained and veterinary drugs provided for each new village • 50 first aid workers were trained (30 of them women) • 40 new village midwives were in trained during the year at the Midwives Training School following the completion of the KIDS FOR KIDS' Midwives Training School.

KIDS FOR KIDS is committed to funding a minimum of 150,000, for each of the next three years, to help families stay in their villages. Many families which were already facing great hardship, are hosting people made homeless because of the conflict. CAPITAL INTERNATIONAL is the first to help these families. "I cannot thank the Trustees enough" said Patricia "This support means a great deal - please can you help us give more families a chance?"
