Hello jay- Yesterday I emailed you about some clinics in southern Sudan. Since then a generous donor - Sheila Leatherman - has come forward with a challenge for you. Sheila was moved by the situation in Magwi County. So much so that she will match your donation made for the clinics, up to $2,500! Will you answer Sheila's challenge? Your gift will go directly to the clinics in Magwi. 11 clinics in remote Magwi County in southern Sudan will soon close if we do not raise $24,000. So far, we've raised over $2,000. We need your help to raise the rest. What happens if the clinics close? About 160,000 people will have no access to basic health care. This will mean the difference between life and death for many people. 
(Please Watch The Video: Rebuilding Health Care in Southern Sudan.) In Magwi County, villages are scattered, and transportation around the region is difficult – sometimes dangerous. Communities are very poor and vulnerable. Malnutrition and outbreaks constantly loom. In these conditions, the 11 health facilities – run by ARC and local Sudanese staff – are absolutely life-saving. Without them, people would simply have no access to medical care. No place for pregnant women to give birth...no place to take sick children for medicine... Unfortunately, that could soon become a reality. We may have to shutter these facilities for the next 6 months if we can't raise $24,000. You can help keep these clinics stay open! Please consider making a gift online. Please, let friends and family know about the clinics in Magwi. We need all the help we can get to keep them open.
Thank you so much, Sincerely, -Daniel Daniel Wordsworth
