A Closer Look at the Price of War Traditionally, the three program areas of UMCOR have been emergency response, world hunger/poverty (including
health care), and refugee assistance. A fourth emphasis is
emerging: assisting people who are living in the midst of
conflict or are recovering from violence and war.
United Methodists Respond to a Nation with AIDS I think you would be happy to know how resourceful our church is around the world. At this moment, a full quarter of the Zimbabwean population is HIV-positive, and your church is responding.
Responding to Survivors of Disasters Big and Small Some international disasters, like the Turkey earthquakes and the Kosovo crisis, capture the media's attention and receive major, extended coverage.... But there are many other disasters, both human-made and natural, that do not receive such media coverage. Some of them, like the cyclone that hit the Orissa region of India last year or the civil war in Sierra Leone are just as devastating and affect as many people as the Turkey and Kosovo emergencies.
Medicine Boxes There is an urgent need for Medicine Boxes in many parts of the world.
