Video: New MSF TV advert Donors make a difference – making it possible for MSF to save lives. As MSF we know this very well and we’d like to share that message through a brand new TV advert that will be aired on nine DSTV channels in South Arica and regionally, starting on 5 April 2010. It gives us great pleasure to share this first ever MSF TV advert in Southern Africa with you – especially as the advert shows what is possible every time a private individual, like you, donates to MSF. |
