Bronwen Jones, a British engineer-ing geologist who founded Children of Fire in South Africa, recently com-plained that Chadian are not letting a 12-year-old boy Rachid Dahiye Za-karia who was thrown into a fire and left to die by janjaweed fighters in Su-dan's bedeviled Darfur province travel to South Africa for surgery. Jones heard about Zakaria from an article in a British newspaper. Since then, Britons have donated some $20,300 toward Zakaria's operations, she said. The boy would need at least three major operations, with six month re-covery periods after each. And Jones is still pursuing the case with Chadian officials.

「被火紋身的小孩」是由英國工程地質學家布蘭溫．瓊斯所創。她最近抱怨，查德方面不讓12歲的兒童札卡利亞到南非動手術治療。札卡利亞是被在蘇丹民不聊生的達富爾作戰的阿拉伯游牧武裝部隊丟到火中，任其自生自滅。瓊斯是從英國一家報紙的報導得知札卡利亞的故事，她表示，英國人至今已經捐了20,300美元手術費。札卡利亞至少要動三次大手術，每次術後要各休養半年。瓊斯至今仍為這個個案和查德官員周旋。

Bronwen Jones traced the Charities to her finding Dorah Mokoena in a South African hospital in 1996. This little girl had been terribly burned and disfigured in a squatter camp shack fire at the age of seven months, and was befriended by Jones, her son Tristan and his friend Thobeka. They played with her over many months and then stepped in to prevent a medical deci-sion that threatened her sight. Inspired by this case and by Jones' success in turning this appalling situation around, the Charities cooperate to relieve the effects of poverty and sickness in South Africa and are particularly concerned with disabilities and disfigurement re-sulting from burns injuries.

瓊斯女士創辦這個公益團體可以上溯到1996年，她在南非一家醫院發現朵拉，這個小女孩7個月大就因籠屋失火而嚴重燒傷並遭毀容。瓊斯和她兒子崔斯坦及兒子的朋友索貝卡和朵拉成為朋友，他們陪伴她好幾個月，並插手預防一項可能造成她雙眼失明的醫療決定。受到這個個案啟發，加上瓊斯成功扭轉了原本很恐怖的情況，這個公益團體決定合作減輕南非的貧窮和病痛問題，他們尤其關切因燒燙傷而導致殘疾和毀容等問題。
