Please Help The Victims of Typhoon Haiyan In The Philippines!
Typhoon Haiyan has come and gone, but left its indelible “footprints” of destruction, death and devastation in the land and lives of millions of residents in Tacloban. Body count was originally believed to be in 10s of thousands, but is slightly less than 3000. However, more bodies are still being pulled out of the rubble. The US, Uk, Australian and other governments have, and are still providing aid in the form of food, military support and health workers to this region to help reduce the impact of this natural disaster. If you would like to donate some money for this cause, please visit the Disaster Emergency Committee website which can be found here DEC
To borrow Tescos catchphrase, “Every little helps”.
Check out this post which is a real time account of the present situation in Capiz, and other areas affected in the Philippines.

We have decided to mention a few individuals(present and past) who we would like to recognize for their exceptional humanitarian and individual achievements not just relevant to their race, but to mankind in general…

Black, White And Grey
Some people are on the black side 
Some people on the white
Others in the grey
Some people in the black
Try to cross over to the white
While avoiding the grey
The grey being a better option
Over the black
Most people on the white side will rather stay there
While avoiding the grey
The grey being a better option
Over the black
People in the grey
Hope one day they will end up in the white
While praying they never end up in the black
Whichever side life places you in
Hope and Faith makes the difference
Hope that you will stay in the white
Hope that you will not slip from the white to the grey
Hope that you will not end up in the black from the white
Hope that you will cross from the grey to the white
Hope that you will not slip into the black from the grey
Faith that you will jump from the black to the white
Faith that you will move from the black, towards the white, after the grey
Keep your hope alive!
