Dear Ms Storm,
Thank you very much for the e.mail about medical supplies. I am very interested. At long last, I am travelling back to chechnya where I am operating on children who are victims of war. We desperately need medical supplies. I will put together a list and send it to you.
Bless you for organizing this. Wish you all the best of the New Year, Sincerely, Khassan Baiev

Dear Maia,
thank you so much for this mail and the effort you put into this. I think this is truly great and we might indeed need to approach you sometime in the future.
What you write sounds fascinating, it feels very good to hear what you are doing and I am very sure people in dire need will in fact and actually benefit from this.
Many thanks for that.
And many greetings
Tarek

Hello Dr. Meguid, I was quite moved by your article in "Health and Human Rights", as well as by Dr. Farmer's. I am an immigration attorney specializing in advocacy for prisoners/detainees, and have also been involved with several small ngos seeking medical supplies for use in Haiti and Iraq. While searching for a way to make a greater contribution, I decided on the idea you will find at http://www.suturesareahumanright.blogspot.com/.
After less than one week, I have already had positive responses.
I wanted to share its launch with you, since you are quoted right at the top! and also hope that if I can be of help to you, you will let me know.
Peace,
