On 13 August 2008, International Rescue Committee staff members Mohammad Aimal, Shirley Case, Nicole Dial and Jackie Kirk died in the line of duty in Logar Province, Afghanistan, as their clearly-marked IRC vehicle came under heavy gunfire. In response to requests from their friends and colleagues, the International Rescue Committee has established a special fund to honour their memory.

If you would like to make a gift to the fund, you can do so here (by clicking Donate Now, above) or you can mail your donation to: International Rescue Committee, 11 Gower Street, London, WC1E 6HB or call +44 (0)20 7692 0405. Contributions will be dedicated to programmes that help protect and educate children affected by conflict, oppression, or natural disaster.
