Narrative Report:
One hundred ten (110) elderly people were benefited this year to receive aid from 'OUD IN
AFRIKA'. With the global crisis everyone is experiencing at this moment, the help given to
these elderly people especially food is very valuable. To receive this help is something the
poor, elderly people are looking forward to every month. They are the ones who is always
vulnerable to the effect ofthe global food crisis.
This year 2008, better service was given to these elderly poor people. They continue
receiving help from the clinic for their medicines and treatment especially for the ones
affected with podoconiosis or elephantiasis. Others were given extra food supplement like
milk and multivitarnins because of tuberculosis. Christmas season was something special for
them this year. For them, it was Christmas too. With the 100.00 Birr each ofthem received
this Christmas, they were able to lay something special on their table to share with their
families. Others were able to buy new clothes they proudly wore in church. lt is always a
joyful feeling to see these elderly people happy and knowing someone there cares for them.
The Daughters ofCharity, Danka, Dembidollo is very grateful for the help OUD IN
AFRIKA is giving to the elderly people ofSamerro Village and Danka. You were able to
touch their lives and have given them joy even this may be short lived as they ready

them in order to be relieved from the pangs of hunger and the pains of old age. In behalf of
these poor elderly people we say our 'THANK YOU' more than our hearts ean say. God
bless you all and your loved ones. More blessings and power to your organization.
