The Woman's Hour Red Cross Appeal
For over 12 months the world's media have focused attention on famine-stricken areas. The relief operation has gathered momentum, but long-term development programmes designed to help countries help themselves are slower to implement.
To mark its 40th anniversary in 1986, Woman's Hour launches an appeal to send a trained team to the Sudan to assist in development work.
Your calls to representatives of the Red Cross in the field and the national organisation are welcome. The Editor of Woman's Hour,
Sandra Chalmers , is in the Chair.
Produced by the Woman's Hour unit Lines open from 8.0am Send donations to:

Feet First Leonardo da Vinci called it'the greatest engineering device in the world'. It's a marvellous jigsaw of 26 bones which neatly fit together; an apparently indestructible work-horse for the whole body. Why then do we treat our feet so badly that they're now, according to
Britain's chiropodists, in the worst state they've ever been? Choreographer Gillian Lynne talks to dancers and sportsmen - professionals who rely on perfect performance from their feet - and also to chiropodists and shoe-manufacturers who care for other people's feet.
