2011 is a busy year for the Humanity First Medical UK team. Our medical programmes will continue in Uganda, Africa with team visits going ahead as planned. In the winter months, we are continuing to send shipments for Humanity Firsts continued rehabilitative work in Pakistan. We will also continue the Humanity First Disaster Response courses in UK. I am pleased to announce the train the trainers course in United States. This is the first of its kind and will be first of many aiming to set up independent Humanity First Medical satellite training centres outside UK. I have mentioned about our work abroad but many may not know that we are also in continued need of volunteers in the Humanity First London warehouse. I will like to introduce good friend and colleague Dr Noor Ahmad, who has very passionately worked behind the scenes to make it possible for the Humanity First Medical teams to deliver. Last year Dr Ahmad and volunteers were responsible in sending shipments for the Pakistan flood victims. Here is an announcement and appeal by Dr Ahmad.

News Updates Charities as we all know cover a huge range of purposes: disaster response work, education, religion, international development, the environment, animals, leisure etc. Humanity First International is a registered charity in the UK and Humanity First Medical is a part of the charity. I joined Humanity First Medical with the belief that we can change the world for better. I am excited to find like minded team members who share this vision. We are aware that the world is full of hardships, injustices, disasters lurking around corners and therefore full of people who need help. I am delighted a number of training and trained medics have shown interest in our work in recent times. On behalf of the Humanity First Medical team I will like to welcome all of you and hope to regularly update you with our activites. Wish you all a very happy 2011.
