Are u awake???

After a long hard day everyone wants to relax. Hear and read about funny things. Things which lighten the burden….etc etc. No one really wants to see hard hitting pictures or see the painful news about famine and pestilence, do they? And those that do want to be aware of the world around them find themselves helpless.

Life is hard. I know, I understand. Bills to pay, children to care for, in laws to please, spouses to live with….demanding bosses, rising inflation, tough competition everywhere…regardless of where in the world you are, life is hard. Some places it is harder….

It was sometime in Dec that the red flag was raised for Niger.
Niger certainly has our attention now…or does it??

I am not asking u to donate your money or time or any such thing, that really is your business….I just ask that you are aware. That when you pray for your promotion and exams, say a little prayer for the people of Africa as well. Don’t doom them and write them off….

It’s easy to think of Niger as yet another African famine and ignore it. The figures you see are not mere statistics, they are people…..


Don’t choose to be blind!!
