Buy a raffle ticket a n d help Iraqi children
BY MARY O'CONNOR AN AD hoc local group which raises money for UNICEF's children's relief programmes in Iraq is appealing to people to support its latest fundraising venture. The organisation, which was formed in February following a public meeting organised by Galway Alliance Against War, is called MERCI (Medical Emergency Relief for the Children of Iraq. Volunteers are selling 3 raffle tickets for a Volkswagen polo downstairs at the Eyre Square Centre this week. They hope to raise 15,000 from the venture. The money will be used by UNICEF to buy medical supplies to combat disease among Iraqi children. "The situation there is now worse than before the war," explains Richard Kimball, a spokesperson for MERCI. "The water supply is poisoned and sanitation is a non event. Children and women of childbearing years are the most vulnerable." He says vital medicines can help children with conditions such as diarrohea and leukaemia. "As little as 45 cent will get a rehydration pack which can save a child's life." The draw for the Volkswagen car will take place on Monday at 3pm at the Eyre Square Centre. It will be followed by a brief talk by the director of UNICEF Ireland Maura Quinn.
