MERCY MALAYSIA SEEKS - 2

Apart from seeking funds, Mercy Malaysia is also appealing to the public to

sponsor a Somalia child for RM60 a month or RM300 for a Somalia family for the

same period, he said.

Meanwhile, Wong said they also needed funds for Mercy Malaysia''s future

projects in Mindanao, adding they had so far, collected about RM300,000.

The projects are the reconstruction of health centres and conducting

psychosocial treatment for victims facing acute stress disorder, post-traumatic

stress disorder and other related sicknesses.

A devastating tropical storm ''Washi'' hit Mindanao last December, causing

massive floods and landslides, the hardest hit areas being the city of Iligan

and Cagayan De Oro, with many houses swept into the sea.

Mercy Malaysia can be contacted at 03-2273 3999 or by logging on to the
