GOTG is partnering with crowdfunding platform BackaBuddy to celebrate 30 years of service to humanity.
Dr Suliman says they call on humanity “to make a difference, restore dignity and give hope to those who need it most”.
“We will serve all people; of all races, of all religions, of all colors, of all classes, of all cultures…of every geographical location and of every political affiliation.’
“We will serve them unconditionally, expecting nothing in return.”
