Ivan's New Year
Ivan's into the New Year with news of his thoughts on the disaster in Southern Asia. It's frightening watching the reports and video coming out of the area, of something that you'd only ever imagine happening in a film. The speed of the water is horrific, and the damage unimaginable.
One of Jules' cousins is over there, and thank goodness is safe and well on the other side of Thailand. I know his mum and dad are planning on going over there soon. Hopefully things will be sorted quickly. What is warming is the huge worldwide public response to the disaster. I hope this marks the beginning of a change in people's views of the world and its problems. Maybe we'll see a worldwide move to helping those less fortunate than ourselves. That would be an achievement for 2005, now, wouldn't it!
