| 31st January 2009 lizz and matt | New Year Wishes - From: A road less pedalled Hello nicholas and Jen, the chinese New Year celebrations in Liverpool were lovely, Matt and I worked on the day at china town, and it was great watching the dragon work it's way down the procession, stopping at the row of chinese rest'aurants, reaching up to grab at the cabbage that was hung outside the doorways, this is supposed to bring good luck for the rest of the year when the cabbage is pulled down and then pulled apart and shaken by the dragons mouth at the door entrance of the rest'aurant. The only downside was the weather here, it was sunny that day but bitt'erly cold. As you are aware it is the year of the OX famous people born in that year include Walt disney, barack obama, shirley Bassey and Jack Nicholason to name but a view. We hope your both well and keep the bloggs coming, love to you both Lizz and Mattxxx |
| 27th January 2009 Mum and Dadmarie and John | A road less pedalled. - From: A road less pedalled Hello Jen,Hello Nicholasxx Our love to you bothxX. good evening,and happy tet.and hope you both are well. We are fine right now. we have recived your letter,and post card thank you Nicholas thany you Jen o and yes i still try to go cycling my self weather and fitnes level permiting.The post card takes me back to a book that i read and if my memory serves me right it was a round 1999. The book was based on the life story and acheivments of Christina Noble,i was drawn to this book after i had heard her being interview via the raido.She spoke of a strange dream,that she had at a very low time in her life ,in 1971 and that dream was to change her life and also the lives of thousands of needy children in Vietnam, and Mongolia,for ever. In her dream she saw children running down a road fleeing from a napalm bomb and in her dream the children were running to wards her and as the ground opend up beneath them.She reached out and picked up a little girl and above her head where the words Vietnam.It took twenty years for that dream to come true.Christina traveld to Vietnam in 1989,and with her determination to alleviate the suffering, of the street children.She began to raise money to help this plight and in 1990 in Ho Chi Minh city a medical center, was constructed and then later in 1991 the Christina Noble childrens foundation was establtshed. And it is dedicated to serving children in need eg --care, nutritional,long term medical care, educational,opportunties, and the protection of children at risk of economic and sexual exploition.Then in 1997 she traveld to Mongolia and opend an other foundation, in a Ger village.To date she has received 22 national and international awards in- recognition for this great work. Ther were 50,000 street children when she arrived in Saigon- officially known as Ho Chi Minh City- in 1989.Christia Noble had children her self when she lived in England, and some years later thay went to live in Saigon with her and help with the foundation.I will finish for now as it is geting quite late in to the morring. Take care are love to you bothxxxx. |
