THE shower was lovely, I brushed my teeth in nice hot water and finished it off with a cold glass of water; I enjoyed a good breakfast and read the newspaper.

In Somalia, the children are dying along with their mothers as they trek to the nearest help just for water. We must give them help as the rest of Europe and the world seem to have no conscience.

As a pensioner, I can do little – but I am sure I can do something. So I am going to give my next month’s old age pension to famine relief in Somalia.
