The friendly name is Michael Yaarimeh Sara Bangura. I grew up in Kambia. I was fortunate to attend both the St. Augustine Primary School and the Kolenten Secondary School when they were run by the Catholic Mission.

The hospital is of special importance to me and many of my school mates because it was the one place where, in order to escape from the vagaries of school, you could pretend that you were ill and took the whole day to see a doctor!

It is painfully sad that the rebels stupidly and wantonly destroyed it thus endangering the entire population of the District. This is why the people and well-wishers of Kambia can never thank the people of Cheltenham who have supported the hospital over the last 10 years. They have now undertaken the almost impossible task of raising £1,100,000 to rebuild it; and for which I have proudly become a fund-raiser.

Consequently, I am appealing to you to donate whatever little you can to help us to build a new hospital. Our heavenly Father loves a cheerful giver. Eve if you may never meet any of these innocent and defenceless victims of this brutal war, you would have occupied a place in their hearts and prayers. For the good health and well being for them and their future generations will benefit greatly from the new hospital.

I thank you for your most generous donation and I can assure you that you will receive a personal "Thank You" note from the Trustees.
