[Chellesgirl]

1/3/10 BBC 4 9pm 'Zimbabwe's forgotten children'

Has anyone been watching this documentary???

I am still crying after nearly an hour of watching the children of Zimbabwe suffer so much that they want to give up. Do you think Zimbabwe needs our help? I feel like setting up a charity for these children...but feel it definately isnt welcome while Mugabe is still in power...why is it that we can use so much of tax payers money to fund a war against the taliban, yet leave these people to die???

Please people am I being unreasonable?

Oh, I can imagine, Chelles!

Look at some of those deemed most beautiful: Christy Turlington, British/Columbian, Halle Barry, African-American/White Jewish-American, Heide Klum and Seal's chidren, my friend, Ty Strom-Johston, German-Jamaican, my aunt's boys, Mexican-American/Indian, etc.

People are beautiful!

I couldnt agree more! Night
zzzzzzzzz

Wow. Just watched that doc on catch-up. Staggeringly sad. Mugabe has so much to answer for.

sausage...too much, that he would never be able to answer it all!!!!!!

1.3 million children are orphans roaming around trying to survive.

It would be a real dream if america and uk would come together and do what they do in afghanistan over in zim. Its just so scary..cause china plays such a big part in zims day to day life that there would be world war three.

The programme makers have set up a charitable foundation for those that want to help the children featured directly. zimbabweschildren.org/
There are also links to other charities working in zimbabwe on their website.
Bit tricky as it's not just a question of money is it but I did think of those poor kids ( and particularly Esther and her baby sister) all day today , especially as I did an online shop. Not sure what else we can do....

Also read that Mugabe spent $100 000 on his recent 86th birthday party. Can this be true? Would be funny if it wasn't so obscene.

its true...and then China who are 'financially supporting' him paid for a $300,000 party over there. He seriously needs assasinating a good talking too
