On Friday I will participate in the World Vision 40 Hour Famine which I have done for many years.People sponsor me to go without food for 40 hours and the money goes to those suffering from the dreadful famine in Ethiopia.My contribution is so very small yet it is something I feel so strongly about doing. * * * * To help those who are in need Is something I like to do I see the hopeless plight of others And find my troubles are only few So many starve in Ethiopia Every second of every day I plan to raise some money Which will send some hope their way I'll starve myself for forty hours Whis is nothing by compare To the constant pain and suffering That these people have to bear We take so much for granted But we should cherish every day We should give more of ourselves By the things we do and say We should all give from the heart It's not about ego and wealth For we don't have much of anything If we haven't got our health I am in motion |

Sue, Words of truth spoken by a true woman of social conscience! Nicely done... If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

To deny yourself for others is the biggest part of love. Keep up the good work! ~El Campeador “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |

(big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, it saddens me how we live in a capitalistic world where some have to suffer while others prosper! I too always try to do all I can in sacrifice for others benefits and I want to dedicate my life to helping children too and making them feel safe and happy! (sigh) I'm praying for you and all the volunteers that Ethiopia can be helped and fed and their health improves, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

Thanks to the altruistic efforts of people like you Sue, the innocent and long suffering people of Ethiopia still have a chance... You are a model of humanity for us all... Blessings, Richy |
