Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2005THANKS!!!
We are getting disaster aid from the UK-- but we have also been offered help by Bangladesh, and wait for it-- the government Afghanistan!!!!! Talk about humbling. Times like this remind us of the worst of human nature, but the best is also limitless. Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com I know...Cuba is offering doctors and medical personel as well. A shame that it takes such a great hardship to cause countries to work together on something!

Some say "why don't they help at home." I answer that it will build bonds and mutual respect -- and people from some of the poorest countries may know more than some of our teams about how to improvise in primitive conditions. Bangladesh has had to deal with LOTS of floods. > We are getting disaster aid from the UK-- but we have also been > offered help by Bangladesh, and wait for it-- the government [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh > My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com What humbled me was seein Condoleeza Rice announce that SriLanka has offered aid - when they are still recovering from December's tsunami... [[What humbled me was seein Condoleeza Rice announce that Sri Lanka has offered aid - when they are still recovering from December's tsunami...]] Wow! God bless them! God bless the other countries who've offered assistance, too. But may the countries that are offering help, despite the hardships that they themselves are suffering, be blessed in particular for their generosity. When I hear of things like this, I think, "There's hope for the human race yet!"

There's about 50+ countries offering aid of various kinds. Then there's individuals within countries too. We are all human - well, excpet for the politicians, who are Slitheen ;-) Cheers, helen s >> We are getting disaster aid from the UK-- but we have also been >> offered help by Bangladesh, and wait for it-- the government [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Cheers, helen s I wonder how many people understood the reference to Slitheen? ;-)  SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) A house is not a home, without a cat. http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk >> There's about 50+ countries offering aid of various kinds.

I know there's been water treatment equipment as well as communication equipment, all packed in planes, ready to go, sitting at an airport here in Sweden since the weekend ... waiting - apparently there are no possibilities to receive the planes and the equipment at the moment? Or this stuff is just not needed ...

Or > this stuff is just not needed ... My guess, right now the people have been evacuated to places where there is water treatment and communication equipment available. They want and need to go back home if they can. What you have ready will be needed more as we try to go back into the areas where that has been destroyed. Jo > >> We are getting disaster aid from the UK-- but we have also been > >> offered help by Bangladesh, and wait for it-- the government [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > Jo Water treatment equipment is more likely to be needed than communications. European and North American communications equipment are often built to different standards and, unless consciously designed as dual-mode, may not work together. Canada has sent warships carrying supplies. Red Cross volunteers from Canada are already on sites. But as before, I didn't see any of these mentioned in U.S. news. > We are getting disaster aid from the UK-- but we have also been > offered help by Bangladesh, and wait for it-- the government [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh > My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com |
