UNICEF: World Malaria Day 2010

Yeah, so yesterday I started my UNICEF-blog. I sent mails and SMSs to all my friends and I put it on my Facebook – to all my Swedish friends. And I got one answer – ONE ANSWER! I can’t believe it. I knew peopl thought I’m a wierdo, but that they would ignore me in this way… No, that was really not what I was thinking. I thought my inbox would be full of comments on this ”begging” of mine, but instead I get total silence. So I got one answer and that was positive, sort of. This person would think about me and visit my blog – later, when the stress was over. What stress. What is so important that we can’t read a blog about chidren starving and dying of malnutrition and contaminated water?! But sorry, obviously there are things more important…

The Swedish friends I have today are clearly not interested. As long as their hous still stands after the avalanche, all they have to say is ”poor them” to all who lost theirs. I’ll have to get new Swedish friends. Really, I have to. And I’ll get them on UNICEF’s Facebook or some page like that. Where people think like me. Maybe I should pick up some celebrities! Check if they really are as great as they pretend.

Now for a walk with the dog.

I need to do something good

I am a normal woman in a normal age living in a normal small place in a normal country. Everything is so normal I one day started choking on normality! Had to do something, not so very normal. So I bacame a world parent for UNICEF. I have no kids oc my own, you see, but I always wanted a soccer team - just never happened. Now I have more kids than I can ask for - and I am so happy with that!

So every day I follow UNCEF's work all over the world and I try my best to work for them - you can do a lot of things from your sofa, believe you me! Little deeds every day- If we all did that, the world wouldn't need more help. So I try to encourage people I know to do little deeds every day. It's not hard and it doesn't cost much.

Start with visiting UNICEF's web page - I'm sure you can get it in any language - and look for yourself what little deeds you can do - from your sofa - to help all the children out ther!

And my blog - you won't be able to get away from that!
