hi Vashka
it would be FANTASTIC if you could follow this link and sign your name on Sofia's petition, and send it to her group, Women Asylum Seekers Together (address given). Even better if you could gather some more names.....
Thank you so much for your help
all the best Ciara

Sorry,,, it was a 1986 song,
I believe that sometimes we are not all aware of how lucky some of us are by having a house to live in, a job which helps us to pay our bills, good health and food at our table and in the refrigerator every day to enjoy. Sometimes I miss the whole sight of how important this is and how necessary it is to be grateful for whatever we have. Seeing this awesome pictures tell me also a cruel reality. These people are the ones who live the hardest part and funnily enough, they sometimes are the ones who complaint the less.
Michael Stipe (R.E.M.´s lead singer) portraits with perfection this issue a lot better in their 1886's song "I believe":
When I was young and full of grace
and spirited--a rattlesnake.
When I was young and fever fell
My spirit, I will not tell
You’re on your honor not to tell
I believe in coyotes and time as an abstract
Explain the change, the difference between
What you want and what you need, there’s the key,
Your adventure for today, what do you do
Between the horns of the day?
I believe my shirt is wearing thin
And change is what I believe in
When I was young and give and take
And foolish said my fool awake
When I was young and fever fell
My spirit, I will not tell
You’re on your honor, on your honor
Trust in your calling, make sure your calling’s true
Think of others, the others think of you
Silly rule golden words make, practice, practice makes perfect,
Perfect is a fault, and fault lines change
I believe my humor’s wearing thin
And change is what I believe in
I believe my shirt is wearing thin
And change is what I believe in
When I was young and full of grace
As spirited a rattlesnake
When I was young and fever fell
My spirit, I will not tell
You’re on your honor, on your honor
I believe in example
I believe my throat hurts
Example is the checker to the key
I believe my humor’s wearing thin
And I believe the poles are shifting
I believe my shirt is wearing thin
And change is what I believe in.
Just let's think about it. Awesome job on this pictures!!!
Is this an excerpt from the film?
