    Well after looking, listening & talking I seriously do feel there has been a dragging of feet by the Americans... Seems vaguely reminiscent of New Orleans.... Lots of talk but no action for the peoples...!

    Yes there will be many questions asked afterwards I'm sure......but as usual, answers (well truthful ones anyway) don't often come out of the mouths of any politicians.

    I hope & pray my friend is still safe thanks Kathy, but it is the poor people of Haiti that my thoughts & prayers aree with now... After this last after shock they must now feel so isolated & forgotten in the outlying country areas where m friend is & aid has hardly reached even now.. It is truly heart breaking to see their suffering & I so wish I could do more than donate...... Ah well we all know life is actually quite cruel.... We just don't want to accept it I suppose.....

    Life is cruel Marley and I get to the point where the news upsets me so much that I avoid watching it at times. The only thing that reinforces my faith in human nature is the extraordinary lengths people will go to help others in need. Thank heavens for people who selflessly put their own lives on hold to make a difference to other peoples lives. Where would we be without people like your friend?
    I wish we could do more, I am thinking there will be requests for clothes donations etc through Oxfam. It would be lovely to make up boxes like we did when the boys were in cubs. A box filled with things for the children who have lost everything.

    Gosh, I came over all blubbery when you yelled that she was okay. Fantastic news - what a relief after such a worrying time. Her family must be fainting with relief.

    Yes you are right Marley. I just watched a very moving programme about the children of Haiti. Those poor little things.

    I would just like to applaude all the people who devote their lives to helping others.

    They are very special, selfless people.

    Words alone can not praise them enough.
