Another example of a funding request that also involves SQR’s longer-term aim of gathering information about local communities and their needs.
Request: A village near Yingxiu is in dire need of some Chinese medicines and some hygiene equipment. The area is still inaccessible by road but we’d be cooperating with a group of Chinese and French volunteers (some of whom are doctors) who can get in by helicopter and then hike. Supply streams have been badly affected by serious landslides. We’ve confirmed the need with local villagers. Former Heart to Heart people are helping by sending in some Western medicines too.
