 | Hi!
I just want to spread the request from the norwegian red cross (I'm not a
member as I am generally more of an Amnesty person) to send at least some of
what you'd normally spend on fireworks and partying on newyear's eve this
year to a charity working in areas affected by the earthquake and resulting
tsunamis around the indian sea (eg. the red cross - but I guess any targeted
branch/charity would be good). I'm not asking for a lot...maybe only for
you to buy a cheaper bottle of wine, less fireworks or to just lave out the
champagne...
Annette, who at least for now doesn't know anyone dead or missing from that
area, but is kind of expecting bad news.
(It feels so close. With 13 dead and 800 missing norwegians by now, it's
fairly likely that even if I don't know anyone directly involved I'll at
least know people who lost someone - to compare populationwise that is the
eqivalent of 800 dead and 50 000 (yes, I got the zeros right!) missing
americans...)
