Think you've got problems?

We all have issues to deal with. I was searching for details of primary schools that were burnt down in the February bushfires, and I came across many terrible images. Video footage taken by a man from his house in St Andrews, while the fire raged around him. Video footage filmed by a remote-controlled camera in one of the worst hit areas. But this link will show you what's left in Marysville, "a little town lost". This is so sad. My problems pale into insignificance.

I have found the information I was searching for, and will be heading off on Monday to visit the pupils of Strathewen Primary School to distribute fabric postcards to some of the kids who have lost everything. Their school was destroyed, and they are now working in a portable class room behind the Wattle Glen primary school, which isn't very far from Eltham. The principal was delighted when I contacted her about the postcard project, and said the children would love these messages from kids on the other side of the world.
