Well done Amy!

Anyway Sticks, I suspect a lot of people may have given, but just don't want to talk about it!

As for the ways in which you can give, it is pretty difficult not to know unless you are living in a cave as a hermit!

Perhaps we could think of some innovative ways in which to raise more money?

I was considering what I have in the house which could go on ebay for instance.............

Glad to see that Steve Brookstein has donated the proceeds of his number one to the appeal. A bit of a gamble, as it may be his only ever number one record.

Apparently a large 'all star' charity record has been made with contributions from lots of pop and rock legends, not sure when that comes out though.

I do worry that the devastating problems in Africa and other 3rd world will be overlooked as well..

Have a look at the videos on this website:

You cannot help being deeply moved by them. It is obscene that we allow this to happen

Get a white band

and remember that before, during and after this catastrophe and crisis, a child dies EVERY 3 SECONDS FROM HUNGER, AND SOMEONE DIES EVERY 5 MINUTES FROM AIDS.


We should dig deep for the Tsnami appeal, but we really HAVE to do something to wipe out third world debt.
