Every now and then something bad happens in the world and it captures everyone's imagination in a way that other 'natural disasters' fail to do. Recent events in Haiti is one such example. Which of us can fail to be moved by what we see on our TV's and the horror of it all. Along with my fellow bloggers I ask you to support the people of Haiti in their hour of need, pure and simple.. give some cash and in a small way stand alongside your fellow human beings. They may not be able to thank you but on their behalf I will.... so 'THANK YOU".

If you wish to donate click on any of the links below:

• Unicef 
• CARE 
• Doctors without Borders 
• Tearfund 
• Christian Aid 

Thank you once again for your generosity of spirit and simple humanity. Here is a video that you may want to watch. It contains personal testimony and will move you to tears.
