Thank you for your comment, I real...Hello Julian, <br /><br />Thank you for your comment, I really appreciate that you've taken the time.<br /><br />You don't say where you live but as you have identified, there are so many deserving causes in the world and each new day means that more people need help.<br /><br />Here in the UK we are suffering from a financial crisis and one of the things I hear regularly is that we devote too much money to international aid. The UK tax revenues amount to about £550 billion a year, and we pay out approximately £6 billion to countries abroad in aid. If anything, that amount seems like a miserly one to me. We are, after all, sharing the world, and we have a responsibility to others to make it a better place to live for all.<br /><br />I hope to write about the Queensland flash floods in the next few days but I did previously plan to write about the flooding in Pakistan and just didn't find the time.<br /><br />It definitely pleases me to know that there are others out there who care about world issues. I wish you the best in bringing about your own positive changes.<br /><br />KrisKris Holthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17496824392835614891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660751614871769034.post-59946688637598598192011-01-10T18:05:20.237+00:002011-01-10T18:05:20.237+00:00Time has passed since the tragedy collapsed this H...Time has passed since the tragedy collapsed this Haiti city and the media has since moved on to other disasters. Now they are in Queensland ,Australia and earlier in Pakistan. Not a day passes without some natural disaster occurring somewhere in the world.<br /><br />I came across this blog because I have the same feeling. I want to help but don't have the skills. Even in Haiti the country is far from recovery and I am sitting in my warm office thinking what I will have for dinner later and what film to watch at the weekend.<br /><br />Life is so unfair and it's time to put some time aside to helping others. I want to dig and make a difference but at this moment its not possible. I will look a little closer to home and start there. <br /><br />Thanks Kris for writing your blog. I think there is a lot of us out there that listen to the news as well as watch it.<br /><br />I will go home early tonight and help make supper. It's a start........Loshildickos Inmobiliariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14820800538556672659noreply@blogger.com
