Spend an evening with medics who push the boundaries, finding out how they provide emergency medical care under extreme conditions, whilst dinner and live entertainment, and supporting this worthwhile organisation.
Experience a first-hand account and hear their moving stories from the front line about pushing the limits to bring medical relief to people caught in conflict and crisis around the world.
Since 2006, a total of 77 southern African doctors and nurses have worked with MSF in 34 different countries to provide medical humanitarian relief during emergencies. Each year this number grows; in 2013 alone 35 medics have gone on assignment with MSF in 17 countries. The majority of these recruits have worked with MSF in South Sudan, Afghanistan and Pakistan assisting people affected by conflict and neglect.
To keep making a difference around the world MSF needs public support from ordinary people so that its medics can keep doing extraordinary work in an independent, impartial and neutral way.
Crossing Frontlines is an MSF fundraiser evening hosted by radio and TV news anchor MacFarlane Moleli, which includes dinner and guest speaker Damien Brown, a former MSF fieldworker and author of the book Band Aid for a Broken Leg.
Guests will be in for exhilarating entertainment provided by some of South Africa's top talent, including gypsy-folk band To Hire a Nurse and speed-painter John Adams, before the headline acts, easy-listening lounge group Kusasa and Spanish guitar duo El Cantante hit the stage.
Fresh from the success of their Africa-wide chart topper Khona, Joburg hit-makers Mafikizolo will round off the evening with a special guest performance.
A donation of R500 secures a seat (or R5000 for a table of 10) at Crossing Frontlines where you'll spend a heart-warming evening with inspirational South African medics and find out what you won't hear on the seven o'clock news. A delicious dinner will be included.
What your support can do: R500 provides a basic Health Kit containing drugs and medical equipment to provide three months of care for 1000 people displaced in conflict or disaster.
