Dear [[FirstName]],

It’s been more than two months since the conflict in Lebanon ended, and even though the crisis has dropped out of the evening news and the front pages of most newspapers, International Medical Corps’ work hasn’t stopped. It has instead entered a new and equally challenging phase—one of helping a nation recover.

As I look back on my time in Lebanon, I’m especially proud of what IMC has accomplished. IMC has helped thousands of people return to their homes and villages. Maintaining water supplies, working to provide critical health care, and supporting families with essential supplies through health and family kits, have all been life-sustaining actions. We now walk together with many of these same families on their road to recovery. In addition to being a responsive organization, IMC is also a key member of several international and local technical planning groups and has played a key role in the planning of the national recovery process.

IMC appreciates your support, which is vital to our success.

Sincerely,

Stuart Willcuts
Lebanon Country Director
