A child called Lambi?

When thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth -

but since this admonition seems to be hard to follow perhaps the best way to give for the stricken people of Haiti is with a microcredit organisation.
The Lambi Fund is named after a shell that is used as a horn to call a village meeting (for example).
You can find it here.
Supporting people directly is a good way to circumvent the ongoing US occupation of the country (the third time within a hundred years).

Vigil on 11/11


There are worse ways to give November 11th content or meaning than participating in this:

Vigil

 Wednesday 11th November, 6-7pm
Parliament Square (opposite Parliament) Westminster SW1


Vigil for Haiti and Honduras, the two poorest countries of the Western hemisphere and - undoubtedly not by coincidence - two countries where the elected president was hijacked abroad by putschists supported by a Nobel Peace Prize winning regime.

Apologies for the late mention, but rather late than never.
