Just a final little reminder about our "Gente" Collection for the Abruzzo Earthquake Fund.

You may wish to see these photographs of the joint public funeral for many of the victims. Comments are in English.

The small white coffins on top of a large coffin are those of children found dead in their parents arms under the ruins... So sad! Abruzzo - Joint Funeral - Easter 2009

We have already recieived two great donations so far and then Nuccia and I will add our own to the "Gente" fund final total before sending it off to them.

I have extended the closing date to this coming Sunday - 19th April as I realise many were away over Easter and may not have seen our post on this forum. I have copied it here to save you hunting for it: "Gente" Earthquake Fund!.

Please consider giving - even a couple of $'s or £'s will help these people who must be desperate in their need..

May we thank you in anticipation - Carole and Nuccia...
