Guys....Did you know that every five seconds, a child dies of hunger in a world that produces food enough for everyone.A total of 6.5 million children each year never reach the age of five because hunger leaves them too weak to resist disease. Some 300 million children are chronically hungry in the world today. About 100 million are out of school, most often due to poverty and hunger.The time has come for us to seriously consider the effects of hunger throughout the continent. Join the fight by joining the fight hunger discussion group and visiting the site www.fighthunger.org. Signing up at this site means through the UN's World Food Programme you feed one child for day. It is a little but it will go a long way!!

hie ladies and gents,

i found it really hard to keep the following wise in my diary why must people sleep at night-is there no better way of ending the day? enjoy your ride. Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only
today. Let us begin.

-Little things are indeed little, but to be faithful in little things is a
great thing.

-Nakedness is not only for a piece of clothing; nakedness is lack of human dignity, and also that beautiful virtue of purity, and lack of that respect for each other.

-Before you speak, it is necessary for you to listen, for God speaks in the silence of the heart.

-If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.

-Do not allow yourselves to be disheartened by any failure as long as you have done your best.

-If we really want to love we must learn how to forgive.

-If we pray, we will believe; If we believe, we will love If we love, we will serve.

-Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them. Calcutta can be found all over the world if you have eyes to see.

-It's we who, with our exclusion and rejecting, push our brothers and sisters to find refuge in alcohol and become drunks. They drink to forget the deprivation of their lives. Lest I be accused of being intoxicated with my own verbosity let me end here but of cause after saying what I believein.I believe everything happens because there is a reason EVEN THE WORST THINGS SO THAT WE CAN APPRECIATE THE BETTER THINGS WHEN THEY COME- NEVER REGRET

I received the messagge below from my friend and I found it rather disturbing, a case of 'crime made convinient'

A woman at a nightclub on Saturday night was taken by 5 men, who according to hospital and police reports, gang raped her before dumping her. Unable to remember the events of the evening, tests later confirmed the repeat rapes along with traces of Rohypnol in her blood and Progesterex, essentially a small sterilization pill. The drug is now being used by rapists at parties to rape AND sterilize their victims. Progesterex is available to vets to sterilize large animals. Progesterex is being used together with Rohypnol, the date rape drug. As with Rohypnol, all they have to do is drop it into the girl's drink. The girl can't remember a thing the next morning, of all that had taken place the night before. Progesterex, which dissolves in drinks just as easily, is such that the victim doesn't conceive from the rape and the rapist needn't worry about having a paternity test identifying him months later. The drug's effects ARE NOT TEMPORARY - They are P*E*R*M*A*N*E*N*T

Progesterex is designed to sterilize horses... Any female who takes it WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO CONCEIVE...The weasels can get this drug from anyone who is in the vet school or any university. It's that easy, and Progesterex is about to break out big on campuses everywhere. Believe it or not, there are even sites on the Internet telling people how to use it!!!

Now guys this is the case. The number of reported rape cases in the world each day is risng and the fact that they can get away with it using this drug makes it even more appalling. Rape is a violation that does not only injure physically but leaves a virtual wound that will never heal in the victim's soul and a trauma that will linger forever. The folowing is part of a report I source from www.femalefirst.co.uk describing another disturbing trend where the number of reported cases are on the rise but the conviction rate is on the decline.

Reported Rape Cases Rise As Convictions Fall
The number of rapes against women has increased by 400% while convictions fall to record lows, as women victims continue to be confronted by sceptism and a culture of "she was begging for it mentality" from the CPS. According to figures released by the Home Office rape attacks are increasing rapidly in England and Wales, but the number of while prosecutions secured has hit an all time low.

The government figures published yesterday,show that one in eighteen rapes reported to police ends with the suspect being punished, this against a government pledge to increase the number of convictions.
Another worrying statistic is the emergence of an alarming new rape trend, linked to the UK's binge-drinking culture in towns and cities across England and Wales, the study has highlighted that, groups of predatory men are now targeting drunken women to rape and sexually assault.

The link between excessive binge drinking and rape is now a much more bigger menace than sexual attacks involving the date rape drug Rohypnol. In a period when the Government faces a general election and crime is high on the agenda it finds itself on the defensive over the increase in violent crime and drunken behaviour on the streets.

The Home Office report, disclosed the latest rape figures and that some men are now trawling bars looking for drunk women to rape. It also said that the actual number of rapes in England and Wales is more than four times higher than the 11,700 reported to the police in 2002.

Food for thought!
