Doctors Without Borders

For our project this term we were given a company that helps either their own or another community for free. We got into groups and my group was given Doctors Without Borders which is a service that provides care and health to overseas countries. That was all I knew about the service so I decided to send an email. Heres what I wrote: To whom it may concern, Hello my name is Declan and I am a year 4 student at Moonee Ponds Central School. This term as part of our integrated unit, I have been researching the Doctors without borders service and I have a few questions. Which government may not let you inside their Country? When would you not go somewhere to save someone? Which countries in future do you think will need more help in future? Declan. Unfortunately, I did not get a reply from the email and I havent found the answers to my questions.
