As the ice melts, and the seas rise, with the storms that blow and the rains that drown......
As we indulge ourselves in the excesses of the western world, while children die elsewhere without even being held......
And yet the light of hope brings a new dawn......
A new understanding, a new beginning.

YES WE CAN
New Zealand and Aussie are already there. So is China, and very soon India.

Getting there, getting there........the dawn of 2009....
Great thread....you're right --- YES WE CAN! Everyone can make a difference in the life of another with just small personal sacrifices - and a greater difference if we want. For myself - I'm supporting a child thru the CCF -- for the price of 3 coffees at Starbucks every month --- I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! May 2009 bring your peace of heart, mind, and soul !
