A little something to help out wit

I've been getting tons of mails [especially since the last post about my trip to the Red Cross Orphanage] from people expressing their desire to do something positive. Well, I guess prayers do get answered - and quickly too - as there'll be a walk, just like the Walk Against Rape some months ago. But this time around, it's an awareness walk in celebration of the World Sickle Day, organised by the Sickle Cell Advocacy & Management Initiative [SAMI] in Nigeria
