Its just plain stupid and cruel that some governments and banks are still chasing Haiti for its outstanding debts.  Debts it has no hope of ever paying off.

Whilst concerned people, like us, are digging deep into their pockets to support this traumatised nation there are people out their still angling  for their pound of flesh.

Please sign this petition and let’s all try and give Haitians some hope for the future.

“I am not guilty, please appeal for justice for me….call all people together and do everything possible to help me overturn the verdict.”

Tenzin Delek Rinpoche, a highly revered Tibetan Buddhist lama is serving a life sentence in prison for allegedly “conspiring to cause explosions”.   Sentenced to death in 2002 in a closed door trial that failed to meet even the most minimal international legal standards.  No credible evidence has ever been found linking him to this crime.  Following an international campaign on his behalf, Tenzin Delek’s death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment in 2005.

Please support this call for the case to be re-opened.

A new golf ball has been launched by Spanish company AlbusGolf – called the Ecobioball.

This 100% biodegradable ball is safe to use near water (think ocean liner cruises here as well as the local lakes and streams next to your golf course) and is totally non-toxic.

What’s more the fishes will love it as it contains – wait for it – fish food!  Miss hit your ball and it will biodegrade within 48 hours letting out a tasty meal for the fish.

Safe to flora and fauna alike.
