Wheelchairs for Kurdistan

Several members of the Year 3 Youth Leadership Training program (YLTP) group are helping St. James Anglican Church in Dundas to collect wheelchairs, walkers and other medical devices for the people of Kurdistan. 
The Kurds are an ethnic group living in the intersection of Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey, where they face varying levels of discrimination from ISIL and other terrorist groups. They are mostly Sunni Muslims, but there are also Christians and Yazidis among their population. 
They need our help!  
If you or a neighbour has a walker or wheel chair or other medical devices that are no longer needed, please consider donating to this project.  St James is fundraising to cover shipment costs , with a dinner and silent auction on March 25.  
Contact Nancy McBride (YLTP year 3 co-leader) for more details.
