On the road with vital hospital aid
A TWENTY foot container carrying vital aid to hospitals worth
thousands of pounds is on its way to The Gambia, thanks to a Witham charity.
This is the fifth container load sent by the Kingfisher Trust, founded by Simon
Wezel of Dunoon Close, Braintree, just two years ago.
Mr Wezel, managing director of Thomas Boers transit company of East Way Industrial
Park, Witham, set up the charity to make sure people got the help they really needed.
The current container load will cost £2,000 to ship to The Gambia.
It contains equipment worth tens of thousands of pounds to set up clinics in
remote bush areas where
people cannot get to hospital, medicine, syringes, hospital curtains and the parts
to build three horse drawn ambulances.
It also has a hospital mortuary on board that was not needed any longer in
Britain.
The Kingfisher Trust is now building a four classroom training centre
near
the Gambian coast.
Kingfisher particularly wants spent laser cartridges — it can sell them — surplus
books, especially those suitable for teenagers, manual typewriters, old sewing machines, and spare tools for any
trade.
Anybody who can help can contact Simon Wezel on 01376 502014.
