Precious children...

We sponsor a child through Baptist Aid (even though we don't go to a Baptist church). So many little ones endure so much suffering throughout the world. Poverty, malnutrition, lack of education, slavery...it's almost overwhelming if you let it rush over you. I've just been reading about the child sex-traffic industry...it makes the blood boil!! This world can be full of such incredible beauty, yet unbelievable suffering...
We all wrote to our young man Isaac over in Kenya this week & sent some photos. We hope that our small contribution - although it fells like a drop in an ocean - might help him & his family...

Year 12 are having 'Activities Day' at school - there is fun food & rides & games etc for Prep-Year 11 & the theme is the circus...so I sent a little strong man & a tight-rope walker off happily this morning...can't wait to hear how it all went...found this great image of a strong man on a blog somewhere...so sorry that I can't remember where...it helped me put a mo, eyebrows & a teensy beard on Eric this morning - thank you whoever you are...
