The MSF has received global recognition for its humanitarian work and won the 1999 Nobel Peace Prize.
Rania Iman is the president of the UCL Friends of Médecins sans Frontières society and says the organisation has worked hard to deliver several supporting initiatives as well as raising awareness for the humanitarian work the MSF carries out.
Rania Iman said: “UCL FoMSF society is committed to raising awareness of MSF’s work and to fundraising for its ongoing and future MSF projects.
‘In the last quarter, we ran several events including a Meet and Greet in October, a language event, a laughter yoga class and an end of year Christmas social.
‘It is heart-warming to bring students together for a common purpose of helping others and raising awareness around Global Health.”
Rania says a brief passing encounter with a doctor returning from a mission when she was 12 left a huge impression and sparked her desire to aid in humanitarian work.
"I met a Médecins sans Frontières doctor returning from a mission in Uganda. The goodness he radiated very much marked and impressed me. This encounter inspired a desire to contribute to MSF's work around the world.
‘Joining UCL Friends of MSF society is a wonderful way to contribute to this endeavour, as the society's core mission is to fundraise and raise awareness for MSF."
The MSF continues to operate in more than 70 countries today. Please click here for more information on the Médecins sans Frontières society.
