Burma Cyclone



Hi, as you know aid organisations from across the world are still working tirelessly to help all those in Burma who have been devestated and left homeless by cyclone Nargis. My mum works for the body shop and she came home last week telling me all about how they have been working behind the scenes with Save The Children Austalia and in every body shop store across the country there are collection tins where you can donate to the appeal to help get supplies through to those in desperate need of water, food, blankets, cooking materials and shelter. I have watched on the news and cannot imagine what it must be like for everyone who has been affected by this, not only having to rebuild their homes but also cope with loosing people they love, if i was me and I'd had my family taken away by the cyclone I would be really thankful to all those people who helped my country to recover and build new lives. So, If you have any spare pocket-money why dont you visit your nearest body shop and help out by donating whatever you can and help the victims of cyclone Nargis.

Thanks heaps everyone, we're all one global family

Love Kate
