Tsunami


I know it's a depressing sujbect but what a terrible terrible thing to happen - I can't believe it when I see the pictures on the TV, is heartbreaking to watch

I donated a small amount, when we went out today ALL the shops are donating and even the cafe - all the tips went to the Tsunami distaster.

Re: Tsunami


Yes, it was tragic wasn't it - it's going to take such along time to 'get back to normal'. It must have been terrifying to experience something like that and know that thousands had lost their lives.
Practically every shop you go into are collecting and I feel I have to give a little each time as it's the only way I feel like I'm doing something to help.
It was nice to see William and Harry helping out yesterday in the warehouse, that wasn't too far away from us.

Re: Tsunami


Yeah I thought the same, I think everybody is effected by it - it's just mind blowing to think of all those lives lost. It's such a poor part of the worl too - I think it will take years and years for it to return to how is was, that is if it ever does! Extremely sad and upsetting.

Re: Tsunami


The kiddies had a non-uniform day yesterday and all money raised was donated to the Tsunami fund.

My kids asked what the money was for and try explaining to a 4 and 5 year old about it

Re: Tsunami


There were people at Chepstow market raising money for the Tsunami fund but there have been so many sickos about who have been supposedly raising money for the fund and then pocketing the money for themselves that most people won't donate anymore

Re: Tsunami


yeah best way is by phoning them up and donating i think.

it makes u wonder what else is around the corner doesnt it? And also spells out how precious life is and of those you love and care about.
