Merry Christmas for everyone…
In the world we live in today:
- around 1 billion people live in
extreme poverty meaning for less
than 0.86 USD a day
- 300 000 million children are stroked
by a natural disaster
- 28 million children don’t have access
to education
- 22 million children are on the run
from war and armed conflicts
- 6 million children have been serious
harmed and
2 million children were killed in war
and armed conflicts during the last
10 years
- around 2 million people suffer at the
horn of Africa
- 300 000 children are used as soldiers
- In Norway we probably spend around
48, 6 billion kroner in December
- 240 kroner would support a grand-
mother taking care of several grand-
children
- 200 kroner would give 6 children
breakfast at school in Zimbabwe for a
month
- 120 kroner would give a child in
Afghanistan school bag and writing
equipment for a year
- 120 kroner would give 2 weeks
energy food packages for a child
- 6 kroner per day would give food,
emergency assistance, a row above its
head and school to a child in a refuge
camp in countries like Congo, Liberia
and Afghanistan
Of course we should be allowed to celebrate our seasons and enjoy
it, independent of our religion, gender, colour and age. I myself
look forward to celebrate with people I care about, but not see that
often since we live in different countries. I just hope that we can
do both – enjoy and care…
We don't need to travel around the world and look for a place to
create good things - we can start with each other, reaching our
hands to our family, friends and neighbours, the poor, sick and
lonely living among us - and I strongly believe that the good we do
where we are will spread and reach many, many more...
May Christmas be a good Christmas for all of you
May Christmas be a time to be with beloved people
May Christmas be a time to taking a breath and get your shoulders
done
May Christmas be a time to honour the memory of loved ones who
passed away
May Christmas be a time for all those who are lonely, sick and
frightened in this world to met a fellow human who reaches out his
hands
May Christmas be a time for all who are on the run to find a save
place
May Christmas be a time to brace our energy to face the New Year
with all its possibilities and challenges
May the New Year be a time to reach out and embrace each other
independent of skin colour, religion, nationality and income
May the New Year be a time to end wars and create peace
May the New Year be a time to realise the beauty of our planet
May the New Year be a time to stand together and decide to save our
home - the earth
