I am so pleased by the positive response I have had to this project.I know that as an individual I can not pretend to make a huge difference to all the different issues that I raise in these blogs but I feel that I can't do any harm, and you should not underestermate the power of the internet and films on TV.
There is a charity in South Africa that focuses on Aids called Starfish. There is a parable which sums up this project perfectly, It goes
" A girl walks along a beach, throwing Starfish back into the sea, when she meets an old man. The man asks the girl why she is throwing starfish into the ocean. She says, The sun is up and the tide is going out, if I don't throw them back they will die. But theres a whole beach and it runs on for miles, You can't possibly make a difference says the man. The girls picks up a starfish and throws it back in the sea, " It made a difference to that one" she says
