The Scottish Word: soother with its definition and its meaning illustrated and captioned with the word used in context in the Scots language and in English.
Refugees.
Refugees are with us and come not only from war and oppression but increasingly from our unfolding environmental disaster that causes worsening storms, flood, fire, famine, lack of drinking water and unlivable heat. It is happening now and is steadily increasing.
It is a problem we need to come to terms with no matter our feelings on race, creed or colour. Please do not abandon your fellow beings.
If you can give please do. The future is not as stable as we are in the habit of imagining, even for us, in the West.
Red Nose Day.
Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day is a charity I support in the UK and some of its money is going to help refugees.
Please donate to them or to where you can. No matter how small. A lot of small things add up.
If you claim poverty remember that poverty is relative and what might be an insignificant amount to you can be a lot to another. Give what you can.
