"Cowless in Burma" or Saving Little Min

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Please check out this little fund-raising appeal I've just posted on YouTube and reddit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Su8f-fhOWys

The kids are all war orphans of the myriad ethnic insurgencies that have beset Burma since independence in 1948. They've all lost one or both parents in the fighting. All they're asking for is enough bread to buy a team of cows or bullocks (I suggested buffalo. But they said: "No!") to help with the ploughing of their community field -- currently done by the children themselves after school.

If you can help, please contact the Rev. Danny Toy on his email: [email protected].

Paris, Bamako or wherever next, it's still the the season of Love, Understanding and Giving... 

Best wishes for now and the New Year. David.
