Children Desperately in Need ...


April Fools Day!  From sunny Spring day to snow in the blink of an eye.  And on the eve of Easter.  But what a minor mote in the eye compared to the suffering of so many on the other side of the world....
Spent some time this afternoon forgeting fashion and talking to Katy, a young Trustee of a new UK charity (already established abroad), the Cambodian Children's Fund which has undertaken some amazing and rewarding work in Phnom Penh where many heart rending children - and their families - are living in abject poverty.  Children as young as 4 years are working on the stenching rubbish dump outside the city to earn a living for their families and many actually live on this seething mountain of refuse.  Take a minute to check out the charity which has just gained UK Charity Status and join up as a UK supporter.  I don't think I'll be eating any Easter eggs this weekend as a result ....
