Majahr (pictured) sits, gripping her pink sputum pot like her life depends on it. And it just might.  Majahr is six. She lives in southeast Pakistan. She has a cough, fever, fatigue and has lost her appetite – classic signs of TB.

Her family could not afford transport to the clinic. Her grandfather, Soomar, trekked the five miles with her. He’d give his left leg if it would help heal her.  Drugs are too expensive for poor families like Majahr’s. Were the clinic not here death for Majahr would follow.

Tearfund supports a local project which provides free medicines, medical advice and prayer support to families trapped in poverty.

Holy Trinity Church’s J Team celebration service on Sunday the 2nd April will be looking at how we can help children such as Majahr fight TB.  Please bring any pennies you have collected since our last Tear Fund appeal which raised £180 so we can be Christ to other communities around the world who are struggling.  Thanks Ollie
