HAITI UPDATE: It is now estimated that up to 200,000 could have died, and 3 million affected, made homeless etc. Put into context, that's like more than half the population of Scotland killed injured and made homeless in a matter of minutes . Mind blowing stuff !
This iconic image from AP shows the power of the still photo is alive and well, and one can feel the joy from the childs face as he sees his Mother !
Sometimes the usual things that occupy our time have to be put to one side, and other more important things brought to the fore. Today I feel compelled to mention the Catastrophe that hit Haiti the other day. We live in a country and part of the world that thankfully does not have to worry too much about devastating earthquakes. Many people will be moved by the plight of these poor souls who have lost everything, and the suffering of those who are trapped and injured as I pen this blog. Feeling helpless in such a situation is normal, but for us we can contribute by making a donation to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC). Their web address is as follows : http://www.dec.org.uk/ It is easy to make a donation on their site, or alternatively you can make a donation by phoning their number: 0370 60 60 900 .
All you smokers out there could send them the price of a packet of fags - £5.
This is the only way we can dig deep in this situation, DO IT NOW !
