A Thought for Christmas
December 24th, 2006 by Stephen
22 years after the famine in Ethiopia that inspired Bob Geldof et al., to sing “Feed the World” at Christmastime, Africa continues to suffer from famine, war, trade injustice, AIDS, poor corporate governance, mountains of debt and yet more injustice.
Africa is a continent in flames and deep down if we really accepted that africans were equal to us we would do more to put the fire out. We are standing around with watering cans when what we need is the fire brigade.
Bono
As we enjoy the celebration of the birth of the Prince of Peace, spare a thought - give consideration, discuss with your families and most of all decide what we can do in 2007 to change our watering cans for the fire brigade.
