>Dear Sir/Madam
>For and on behalf of the AFRICAN RELIEF IN ECTION
>"ARIA" formed on 24th July 1995 and accredited on 11th
>July 1996 by the Guinean government, principally
>geared towards the minimisation of human sufferings.
>
>With reference to the above named non-governmental
>organisation, we want to formally inform you about our
>existence in the first place, and secondly to make
>known to you our desire to be associated with your
>personality.
>
>The said organisation is a non governmental
>organisation, having the vision "Service for the
>Needy". Over the years ARIA has greatly participated
>in a number of developmentprogrammes, ranging from
>education, community development, relief health and
>trauma counselling.
>
>It was established in 1995 by a set of Sierra
>Leoneans, Liberians and Guineans who saw the need to
>render relief, rehabilitate the lives and community of
>Africans in Africa that may have suffered as a result
>of war, rape or societal neglect reasons.
>
>The organisation is presently operating in the North
>of Sierra Leone as a Community Based Organisation
>(C.B.O), and in Guinea as a non-governmental
>organisation (N.G.O); it is registered to both
>governments. It is having its headquarter office in
>Conakry, capital of the West African country of
>Guinea.The organisation is having a structural
>organigramme, comprising the following functional
>staff offices:-
>
>1. President
>2. Head of Mission
>3. Administrative Officer
>4. Programme Manager
>5. Financial Director
>6. Logistic Officer
>
>A resume objective of "ARIA" is to "Serve the Needy".
>This we have always implemented by providing:-
>
>1. Education and skills training
>2. Trauma Counselling
>3. Rehabilitation of Amputees
>4. Community based development programmes and
>5. Relief and health services
>
>"ARIA" is in a very good working relationship with
>youth groups, community women's groups, refugees,
>street children, detainees/prisioners, raped victims,
>amputees, socially neglected class of people and
>extremely underdeveloped communities, where in even
>good drinking water is almost impossible to get for
>humanity.
>
>Despite the ambition, good works of "ARIA" and
>enormous will power always manifested by the abled
>staff of "ARIA", yet it remains a gospel truth that
>"ARIA" is a striving organisation to meet the need of
>its beneficiaries. The beneficiaries greatly trust in
>"ARIA" to seek and redress their problems.
>
>Presently the financing of the organisation is from
>donations from staff members and God directed
>humanaitarians, who do feel for these children and do
>admire "ARIA"'s courage.
>
