				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Muslims observe Qurbani during Eid ul Adha and as part of Hajj rites by making a sacrifice of an animal and sharing the meat with the less fortunate. For many people around the world, meat means nutrition, which they cannot get from any other food. It also means celebration but is an expensive treat that many rarely get to enjoy.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Doctors Worldwide have teamed up with Syria Relief to provide medical and food aid to the people of Syria. Syria Relief are a UK charity that was set up to serve the needs of the Syrian people whose lives have been devastated by the internal armed conflict in Syria.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a charity that provides humanitarian aid and medical relief, we are always striving to ensure that our skills and resources are used in the most effective way. As a creative and innovative bunch we decided to offer our expertise and knowledge to the British and European Syrian Diaspora Communities &#8211; many of whom are healthcare specialists, who had decided to set up an independent charity called Syria Relief.</p>
<p>Syria Relief is a UK charity (Registered Charity No: 1143797) established in September 2011, whose aim is to help provide medical relief and emergency humanitarian aid inside Syria.With the impossibility of foreign volunteers and NGOs being able to operate there, Syria Relief&#8217;s direct communication channels, volunteers and staff on the ground gave it an unique ability to deliver in the field in areas such as Homs, Aleppo, Idlib and Damascus.</p>
<p>In May 2012, we formalised a partnership to provide significant capacity building and technical support to Syria Relief. Our joint efforts have created channels for larger Charities such as Human Appeal International, Ummah Welfare Trust and Muslim Aid to direct their funding into Syria. Our project work is focused on mobile health clinics, provision of chronic disease medicines supply and emergency food.</p>

]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>We are able to continue accepting web only payments through to 9am, Saturday, 5 November.</strong></p>
<p>Doctors Worldwide are taking benefit of the forthcoming Qurbani festival which is part of the celebration of the Islamic Hajj, to try and ensure that as many individuals as possible will have access to meat protein in their diet. Many regions in the Horn of Africa participate in the annual Qurbani festival, and we are offering our friends and supporters to take part in this activity also.</p>
<p>With this year’s famine taking its toll, providing meat to many families is an important supplement to meager daily diets.</p>
<p>DWW are planning to offer Qurbanis in Kenya. The cost of each animal/share is £30.</p>
<p><strong>Purchasing a Qurbani</strong></p>
<p>Please use the comments/payment reference field when completing your payment to advise us of the names for each Qurbani. We will issue you with a “tracking number” via email after Qurbani has taken place. As part of our strategic plan to increase transparency to donors, we hope to use the tracking number to feedback to you about the circumstances and location of your particular Qurbani.</p>
