 Dr Gilbert (pictured above) is one of MAI's newest Board members. "This is an amazing example of the church in action", he told us.

Having raised their own travel and subsistence costs, as well as having supplied a fantastic amount of tools, the team recently donated a balance of £2,000 to MAI for the work in Sudan.

 Our Sudan partner, Bishop Elias Taban, has completed another highly successful tour of the UK. Visiting places as far apart as Fleet in Hampshire to Irvine in Scotland, Bishop Taban made many new friends. The purpose of the tour was to report on progress with the Hospital project at Goli, Southern Sudan and to raise volunteers and funds to help with the next stages. With the Out Patient Department complete and staff in place, patients are flocking to the new facility. The next phase is to complete the second block which will provide two wards (maternity and gynaecology) and two operating theatres. This will include all windows, doors, tiling, flooring, electrical and wet services. The cost per bed space is about £2,000 and 16 of the 20 bed spaces have been funded during the tour. The appeal continues for the remaining four. Full Article |
