ONLY RICH GETTING TSUNAMI AID - SUPPORT WORK OF MSF

02-01-2005 13:37

Yesterday Channel Four reported how poor Tsunami victims effectively seafaring villagers on the coastland in Thailand had not received aid because rich tourists were being given preferential treatment. This is even more unacceptable given that western governments are already making efforts to help citizens in their own areas leaving poor people with little or no assistance. In this instance, it would be best to support organisations like medecins san frontieres who are make a point of going into all areas and ensure everyone receives fair and equal treatment.

Zapatista Art

31-12-2004 20:13

For obvious reasons of security it is strictly forbidden to photograph the people at the Zapatista Caracol of Oventic. However visitors are permitted to capture the breathtaking murals which adorn pretty much every building in the village. The locals seem very proud of their artwork which requires no explanation as it largely speaks for itself. Below is a small selection. Enjoy.
