Well, tonight is the last night of fund raising at The Tempest. I'm honestly sad to have it go but I'm glad at what it has become. Hope is wonderful.

I found a brilliant and beautiful article from an Australian publication, called The Age. The article is about a former sex slave winning her abuse claim! THIS IS RESTORATION.

"But this compensation is vitally important. Relevant compensation can pull victims out the cycle of poverty … give them some status within their community so they can lead a normal life." - The Age

The Beatles' song "Getting Better" is running through my mind. The fundraiser is getting better. More people are actually looking at the display board and buying the concessions.
I just get scared that people have charity burn-out. I know it's a reality; there was Live 8, Concert for Diana, Live Earth broadcasted recently. That's a lot to digest. But if we act and are educated citizens of the world, there won't be as many pleas. And really, the bottom line is do what you can.

Abolition and Restoration.

The fundraiser at The Tempest is a disaster. The more I think about it, the more I feel horrible. At least I know I'm reaching the girls through prayer if it will not work through funds. Please pray for their healing and safety.
