Bags of maize

Our friend in Monkey Bay, Malawi wrote back, letting us know that we can safely send money his way through Western Union. I guess a bag of maize goes for US$24-27.

Dear God, can we NOT do more than just buy him a few bags of maize?????????????

I suppose, therefore, we have some things to do today...after MQE and my breakfast date first (read the irony) since the Western Union office probably isn't open yet.

I just feel quasi-sick inside.

  1. I can sympathise with the feeling of helplessness ... but at least you CAN do something, even if it doesn't feel like it's much. It's a tough old world all right. Try and keep positive though - a bit of positive thinking goes a long way to offset all the bad/sad things. Hug your children too, lots, that helps!
