Acting in the Spirit of Christmas

I received this email from a local Parish priest and felt it was worth posting up on the blog for those people who have a social conscience and would like to make a small statement.

Dear Friends

I haven't had a chance to send Christmas cards this year. I have,
instead, been working on a way to give some gift to the one billion children who
now live in poverty.

It seems to me that the best gift one can give to those who suffer in
silence is the gift of a voice.

I invite you to join me in this giving.

Please go to Not OK.org and say this situation is NOT OK. I
would be grateful if you felt able to forward this to others in your address
book.

May the child that is born to us, all one billion of them bless you this

Christmas.

Grace and Peace

Done here too. Interesting that this should emanate from Gosford.

Yeah, I think this is going to become a major campaign for 2005. Also see http://www.makepovertyhistory.com/home.html

Happy New Year, by the way! And thanks for all your lovely entries over the last year.
