May wandered off to get a nightie for her pilgrimage for her walk of St. Jacques de Compostelo www.red2000.com/spain/santiago/index.html and www.harvestpilgrimages.net.au/youthpilgrims.html She will earn her pilgrim’s shell, stay in monasteries with other pilgrims in the medieval tradition.
A retired midwyfe from Scotland she is dropping over 200 letters into the mail asking for sponsorships.
She doesn’t want the money for herself, but for a charity in South Africa run by two former accountants who left their work to take care of AIDs orphans in a tiny village. May visited them and saw children who were lucky when they had powdered milk. Often corn was ground and water added (not necessarily good water) to provide their basic food.
Another friend is thinking of giving up a lucrative job to work with the elderly.
Thank god for the people who try and make the world better. Good on anyone who at least goes through live without making the world worse. A pox on those who destroy life.
