Soon be Christmas.......

It will soon be that very Christian time of year so I am keeping a close eye on things to see if there are any announcements from the team like there were around this time last year......

The decision as to which way round the world to go, will probably involve some in depth studies into the weather / climate / trade winds etc. etc.

Then again, if the rest of their planning is anything to go by, it could be a case of ... " Gee - another sponsor wants to lend us a helicopter - it's a type we're not familiar with, I wonder which way round the rotors turn - maybe we can go round the world the same way ?"

Meanwhile the latest donor ( Web Site designer ) has been busy.
There's now another "Charity" web site in addition to the original "Christian Foundation for Unpriviliged Children".
This one's called the "Christian Foundation for Starving Children" :
http://www.helpstarvingchildren.org/news.php
( Another warning to to turn your sound down or off before visiting )

Some interesting but not particularly new information on there :

The "charity" are no longer exclusively helping those poor, starving, frozen children, but have diversified and are now "helping" families ( two ) that are not doing well financially, living in a trailer park ( Perris, California ), an Orphanage in India, and some starving children in Africa - "It's not their fault they're hungry"

Best if all is a little snippet from the "Contact Us" page...

Good old Johan seems to have declared himself as a MINISTER :



..... now would that be a religous minister, or governmental ?
