CAFOD Harvest Family Fast Day Collection

There will be a retiring collection this week for the work of CAFOD.

This year CAFOD is celebrating the support it has been able to offer to a Mobile Clinic in Pakistan. Last year, when flooding hit Pakistan, the team travelled across hundreds of miles to treat people who needed medical help in the aftermath of the disaster. That is how they met Meera. Meera gave birth just as her home was destroyed by the floods. The family moved into a temporary shelter at the side of the road. With little food and nothing but contaminated water to drink, diseases started to spread throughout the camp. Meera told us: “Our children got sick, and we had no medicines.” When Dr. Nasha and her team arrived in her village, Meera hurried to bring her children to the clinic and obtained for them the life-saving medicines and treatment they needed. Meera’s baby, Marwi, is now a healthy one year old. Together, she and her husband have rebuilt their home and are working to recover what they lost in the floods. Dr. Nasha’s mobile medical clinic sends life-saving help to where it is needed most, fast – so when her team arrived in Meera’s village in Pakistan after it had been destroyed by flooding, Meera rushed to the clinic to obtain for her children the treatment they needed.
