Title: Do you remember Bhopal?
Post by: caroline7758 on October 17, 2007, 19:22:43
A friend of mine is doing a sponsored walk next week to raise money for a clinic helping the people of Bhopal, who are still suffering the effects of the explosion in 1984.He sent me this link www.bhopal.org (http://www.bhopal.org)

Reading that and knowing that my friend, who is 77, is going to walk 100 miles in 5 days and hoping to raise $1000 (that's pounds) made me feel very small!

It was a truly dreadful disaster.  Does your friend have a link to a sponsorship website where we can donate, or perhaps a Paypal?  I realise that we can make a general donation, but it would be nice to help towards the thousand pound target.

Got a christmascard from my friend who did the walk. He has raised a brilliant £1800 so far, so thanks very much to those of you who made a donation.
