Miracle In A Month

Hello Ladies and Germs,
Please forgive me for using this forum to further a cause, but bugger it, I feel the need.

I came across an article in The Age not long ago, and as a mum, I want to help.


Please check out 25 Women


Basically, these ladies were just sitting around waiting for a cause to reveal itself I think, because they've put their heads together and decided to raise heaps of cash to help fund a special hospital in Ethiopia, basically to help women with childbirth related injuries, caused by inexperienced or careless midwives, tribal practices, etc. These ladies are hosting an even on the 9th Dec, short notice I know, I only just found out about it myself. All the funds will go to running this hospital for a year. They are looking for people that would like to attend the music event in Richmond, you can buy tickets online, or better yet, contribute items for a silent auction held at the event. I've contributed a portrait drawn by yours truly...


Thanks for reading, and I hope you click over to have a look.

Thanks Laura Jane, I reckon they need people like you over there. I can't imagine what those poor women go through to be honest. A birth can be traumatic under the most modern and sanitised circumstances.
