Show MSF Medical Teams Your Gratitude

Sponsored by: Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres
Every day of the year, Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) aid workers provide emergency aid, shelter, medicines and lifesaving care in some of the most remote and insecure parts of the world.

This means that many of them will be away from their loved ones over the upcoming holidays.

So every year, MSF sends a special holiday package to aid workers in the field in appreciation of their crucial work, and we thought you would like to share your thoughts with them, too.

Right now, MSF medical teams are delivering urgently needed care to people trapped in conflict zones, natural disasters, epidemic outbreaks, and suffering from exclusion from health care in places like Somalia, Sri Lanka and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Tell them you appreciate their hard work and wish them well for the upcoming holidays.

Saving lives and providing medical care to people is one of the most important things you can possibly do with your life. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are wonderful, caring, special people that deserve the best life can offer you. You have given life to so many, and we thank you for that.

I know your work reaches people who have no health care options at all. Thank you for providing them with some of your loving care so they too can have an opportunity to live more of a healthy life. Often, their overall poverty is caused in some way, either directly or indirectly, by the western world policies of some sort or other, so thank you for helping to tip the scale a little bit back in a direction to help the unoverdeveloped parts of the world.
