today, stayed at home for the entire day (again) ... bored stiff ... as usual , combed almost every word on the newspaper ... found a piece of somewhat devastating news which says 'Year of disasters' ...
for the first 8 months this year , 267 incidents of natural disasters had occured victimising up to 91 million lives !!!
this amount is higher than the average over the past decade amounting to 236 ... among the 267 incidents, 168 were floods- 80% higher than average of 93 over the past 10 years ...
reported reasons for these devestation being that the climate of the world is changing , more people live near beaches and earth-quake prone regions where a tsunami will hit ...
also, Mr dont know who, claimed that richer countries are giving less than 0.2% of what they are capable to reach out for the poorer countries !
so, sometimes, when people come up to you for donations, please do not hesitate to stop for a second or two to drop in some coins ... amounts does not matter, as long as you tried to help !!!
!!! World Peace !!!
