Hear Our Voices... The "Hear Our Voices" Campaign, in support of the broader CAP theme and events throughout 2004, will profile human success stories of how the CAP has worked positively in countries covered by the Appeals. In essence, this campaign will help put a human face on the CAP to show the media, the international community and publics in donor countries the vale of well funded and coordinated Appeals for saving human lives and helping restore communities.
Maria and Mariam's storyAs internal conflict in Sierra Leone and Liberia spilled into neighbouring Guinea, thousands of refugees were on the road again. Maria Bokaa, 52, and her two-year-old granddaughter Mariam, walked for four days from Guahun in Sierra Leone to seek safety at Katkama transit camp in Guinea. Maria is mentally and physically drained. After her daughter died, she has had to care for her granddaughter. Some 450,000 people from Sierra Leone and Liberia have sought refuge in Guinea over the last ten years.To assist those trapped by the violence, the Guinean Red Cross, together with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the International Federation and other humanitarian agencies as well as Guinean authorities, are helping refugees to reach a safer area. In the transit camps of Nyaedou and Katkama, Red Cross volunteers identify those most in need and try to provide some comfort by offering blankets and bars of soap to the most vulnerable refugees. The refugees are then moved by UNHCR buses and trucks to new campsites where they are housed in tents, have access to fresh water and sanitation.
