      Four Hundred and Eighty Thousand Dead Children - No Tsunami

Since the Tsunami on 26th December, four hundred and eighty thousand children have died needlessly from lack of food or basic medicines worldwide. So just in these seventeen days deaths of man’s making outstrip nature’s two to one.

Did you dip into your pocket for the Tsunami? Fancy doing that every eight days for the regular martyrs? No - it just does not make such good television as big waves. This is the big problem with many of the injustices in our world: they are rarely seen and even less rarely acted upon.
