Those participating in ‘Work a Day for ICMDA’ are invited to support the work of ICMDA with a focus on the regions through prayer and by giving the equivalent of one day’s salary for the work of the ICMDA. Those not receiving a salary including students are also encouraged to participate in giving what they feel able to.

The closest working day before St Luke’s day (Healthcare Sunday in some countries) has been chosen as ‘Work a day for ICMDA – Day’ which this year is the 14th October 2011! Those unable to participate on this day may select another day to ‘Work a Day for ICMDA’. Healthcare Sunday is held on the Sunday closest to the 18th October, the day traditionally known as St Luke's Day and is an initiative ICMDA strongly supports.

In adopting ‘Work a day for ICMDA’ as a means of supporting the work of ICMDA in the regions we recognise this encourages the same proportion of giving from all those who choose to support the work of ICMDA around the world. Monies given through this initiative will be directed to the valuable work of the ICMDA undertaken within the regions. This includes the ongoing encouragement and support given by our team of Regional Secretaries and Area Student Representatives alongside the support of regional activities such as student leadership training and regional conferences. The past years have seen growth across the regions of ICMDA with increased regional activity and expenditure. Support of the ICMDA Development Fund which supports the regional work of ICMDA depends upon the freewill giving of member movements and individuals.

Those who plan to participate with others around the world in this initiative are invited to sign-up using the form provided which will then ensure that relevant prayer and giving information can be sent to you.
