Clarens is in the Eastern Free State Highlands South Africa in the foothills of the Maluti Mountains in close proximity to the Golden Gate National Park and the mountain kingdom of Lesotho. It is a tourist centre and a haven for artists.
On the edge of the Clarens there is a very poor township Kgubetswane and this like many areas in South Africa has not escaped the spread of the AIDS virus. Clarens has a growing number of children who are orphaned as a direct result. What started as a small operation by local volunteers and churches to feed and clothe 50 children from the township has mushroomed as more and more children lose one or both parents to aids and over 120 children a day now need food. Some of the street children are housed overnight with local families but the families are very poor and cannot afford an extra mouth to feed, hence The Orphan Feeding Programme in the grounds of the Itumeleng Health Clinic. What started as a table with a pot of soup by Martie Du Plessis and a team of volunteers from local churches soon grew to a shelter, but it still wasn’t big enough to feed the increasing number of children. Food is collected daily from local shops, markets and hotels. All of the food is beyond its sell by date and would normally be thrown away. It is then cooked into a nourishing soup by local volunteers who work on a rota.
Each day at the Orphan Family Shelter, a different activity is planned before the meal. This includes sports, puppet shows and lessons in personal, social and emotional care. Some of the orphans have HIV/Aids too, but education is the key to the future of all of these children and can be part of the battle against AIDS. Education can help the children to help themselves in the future.
In 2005 my partner Allan & I raised £3500 for the Orphan Family Project. We paid for our own flights & accommodation & joined a team of teachers and other volunteers from Wiltshire & Avon in the UK who were doing education & maintenance projects at the local Dihlabeng School. As our own personal project we built an extension to both ends of the existing Orphan Family feeding shelter and made lots of picnic benches.
The children were fantastic – eager to help in every way whether by holding a piece of wood while you sawed it, or by fetching and carrying stuff or just by inspiring us to get the project done. It was a humbling & life-changing experience. Instead of just raising the money we gave up our holiday from work, physically built the shelter, saw the environment these children are trying to survive in, and there was still enough money left over to help pay towards a new classroom at the Dihlabeng Christian school which provides education for some of the orphans.
I know some of you are active in DoA for example. I have no access to buy/sell sections of any BJD sites. I'm looking for Dollzone Sherry (sometimes seen referred to as Shelly). I would order her from Dollzone but the waiting period is 10weeks which is too much considering I will give birth in 11 weeks. So if you see one or have one you could give up, lemme know!

Helper, Utah.
The small town of Helper, Utah grew as a mining and railroad town. The name Helper came from the extra engines which helped to push heavy rail cars full of coal uphill to the west. Helper was always a rough and tumble town and at one time had 17 brothels and 33 bars, all for a population which never exceeded a few thousand. Helper was wide open with a dozen good-sized hotels, each offering upstairs brothels and gaming activities.
The Hotel Newhouse stands as one of the survivors of that history.

I think this Lady Bug on my keyboard was trying to tell me that she needed to go outside and urinate. She kept hanging around the "P" key.

This little one wanted to share in helping with bags!
To explain: The locals helped carry bags and beach things to the beach hut. This was not really necessary but it earned them a little and everything helps.
LX5
A book that can help LX5 users by deeply explaining every single adjustement that can be done with the camera. It provides full explanations of the 'dark sides' of the official Panasonic manual. A must.
Over 160 attendees gathered to help TFS celebrate the opening of their exhibit History in the Making: Texas A&M Forest Service with a reception held in the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum’s Rotunda.
C'mon. We know we all bought crap off of the internet like that obscure CD or that P90X DVD or that massager that's now collecting dust. If you got some, spare some. Thanks.

The Edward Cosgrave Memorial Charity Fundraiser Tractor Run took place in Longwood, Co. Meath, Ireland on 19th August 2012 at 14:00. The event was run in association with The South Meath Vintage Association and the nominated charity was Rehab. All tractors big and small were welcome to the event. It has been almost to years since the untimely passing of Longwood local Edward Cosgrave. He loved antique tractors and this annual tractor run is a fitting tribute to his memory. The tractor run took a mostly rural country road route from Longwood to Stoneyford to Blackshade to Ashfield and Moyvalley Broadford. The tractors return then via Stoneyford and St. Oliver's Road.

Help with the location would be really useful - the memory cells don't work so well 12 months on! It was a fantastic holiday!
