Thread Name: BS: The Royal Wedding/baby
Subject: RE: BS: The Royal Wedding/baby
My dear sister-in-law Hazara is about to give birth in Ivory Coast. She's walking about in 40 degrees heat and enormous humidity, still carrying market produce on her head to sell at her stall, having walked quite far to buy the stuff she sells. She'll have her baby with practically no medical help, and probably hasn't eaten all that well during her pregnancy. We send what we can afford to help her, but it isn't much I'm afraid. My point is that there are millions of little ones born in the world disadvantaged from the start, in war, famine, disease and poverty. I wish William, Catherine and Baby Cambridge well of course, but that baby will have everything possible for his needs. I'm more concerned about all the others.
