The Order of St Lazarus Commandery of Wales has been most generous to the Samburu Trust in Kenya and we are very grateful for these donations, which have made an immediate difference to Samburu health and wellbeing.

Following the recent tragedy in Lebanon, an appeal has been launched by the Trust to support the Christian community in Beirut, through the charity Aid to the Church in Need

Chev. Dr. David Woolf reports:
As 2019 draws to a close I enclose the latest telemedicine field report from our Clinical Advisor, Mr Daniel Morris CMLJ, of the Samburu Trust. As with previous Samburu reports please be aware that it contains quite graphic clinical images.
Last evening the Cardiff Oratory and the Commandery of Wales co-hosted a fundraiser for the Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) Syrian Christian Refugee appeal. This is the second year that we have supported ACN. Our guest lecturer was John Pontifex, Head of PR & Information at ACN. John’s superb lecture graphically set the scene for the challenges facing ACN on the ground in Syria.
At 9am on Saturday 29th July five humans and two canine friends gathered in the rain at Lancing College and so began the 2019 Sussex Commandery Sponsored Walk. Armed with waterproofs and umbrellas we set off for the river Adur led by Simon. Along the way we encountered some rather large cows who, quite understandably, were somewhat reluctant to move. However, faced with our own cow whisperer, Jonathan, the cows were persuaded to let us pass by.
