Be Bothered!

Can't Be Bothered?  I was recently listening to Zainab Bangura - Sierra Leone's foreign minister - pleading with us to ask our governments to act on behalf of the people of her country, 70% of whom cannot afford one meal a day.  Between now and September, 90% of the people of Sierra Leone will not afford one bag of rice*.

Once again I was reminded that nothing will change if we can't be bothered... be bothered by the fact that many on our shared earth face poverty, starvation, disease, civil war.... 

Please be bothered.  Perhaps be bothered enough to make a one dollar hit and pass it on...  Your small change - along with the small change of many others - can make big changes to people's lives: their livelihood, health, quality of life, and ability to survive.  

Thankyou for being bothered!  the ohw team.
