Missing presumed eaten - Feed the World 30

Do you remember the story of my daughter's puppy in Liberia?

She left him behind,

when ebola forced them to evacuate in August.

The dog has disappeared

It is very likely that he has been eaten...

Today I bought Feed the World 30

It was my first ever Itunes purchase.

I urge you to do the same

all the money raised is for helping
the fight against ebola in west Africa...

Thirty years ago, I also bought the Band Aid song.
Bob Geldof, Midge Ure and friends raised millions
for famine relief in Ethiopia.
I was twenty-one, the same age as my daughter

I barely knew where Africa was.

Fast forward thirty years

daughter number one, newly arrived in Liberia

sends me a photo of a flee ridden, worm infested puppy

bought as a guard dog.
You can read the story here

I send a care package

full of flea and worming tablets,

dog chews and treats,

when she left he was a healthy growing dog...

I will leave her to tell her Liberian story one day,

the fact that the dog was probably stolen for food

is the reason I bought the BandAid music today.

Thank you to all the musicians involved in Feed the World

I am listening it to it over and over again.

I have not linked this to any U tube clips

Please buy your own copy!

Here are some of the words from Feed the World...

but say a prayer – pray for the other ones

At Christmas time – it’s hard but while you’re having fun

There’s a world outside your window and it’s a world of dread and fear

Where a kiss of love can kill you and there’s death in every tear

And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom

Well tonight we’re reaching out and touching you

No peace and joy this Christmas in west Africa

The only hope they’ll have is being alive

Where to comfort is to fear

Where to touch is to be scared...

How can they know it’s Christmas time at all?

We downloaded it and I sang along to it in the car.

The kids had no idea of the original words.

They do now.

Linking with Blue Monday - Our World Tuesday

Thank you to all the wonderful hosts

Something beautiful is happening at our place, I can hear the little birds sing! This is no mean feat as we live way up high, above the 30th floor. I love my new apartment it is just perfect, except that I missed the birds. Then guess what? Two of the cutest little Thai Sunbirds decided to join us and build a nest. Talk about the happiest bird watch ever! Our sunbird on our orchids Let's go back a bit and remind you about my Bangkok life. I've arrived in this great city from Melbourne Australia. Where I have a garden that I love and although the birds are a little cautious about visiting us, on account of the Crazy Poodle, we enjoyed all manner of what I think of as exotic birds - bright parrots, laughing kookaburras etc Rainbow lorikeets checking to see what the Crazy Poodle is up to! Our first Bangkok apartment at Embassy Place was chosen for it's amazing position overlooking one of the US Embassy compounds. The American Ambassador in Bangkok, has a ni...
