Act Fast...For The Time Is Running Out...For Our LOST GENERATION!!!

This is something that Sir Cliff Richard said

When Sir Cliff Richard went to Bangladesh he was visiting one of the most run down village hospital ever…

He was standing and watching a nurse attend to a man who was dying…

She asked him…
“Sir…Do you know how to administer an injection…?”
Sir Cliff Answered on the negative for which the nurse replied…” then why are you standing here and wasting your time…Go back to your country and do what you are good at doing…and don’t forget to spread the word around…about the dead and the dying”

A very plain and an outright answer…but it shook Sir Cliff…In all his life,he has never heard anyone speak to him like that before…



He later went on a trip to Calcutta to meet Mother Teresa…She was in her usual best…attending to the worm infested wound of a leper…not once flinching to see who was standing beside her…for her…no celebrity is great…for her…no human is great…

She then took her own time to have a friendly chat with Sir Cliff…And she spoke at length on what each of us could do…



And when Cliff Richard was on his way back home to England…he told this to a reporter who was travelling with him on the plane…

“I hate to think.. and shudder at the thought that every time I refuse to take food on the plane…for the sole reason that it did not suit my standard…there is a child dying of starvation…in a country over which I am flying right now…” A meal that would have meant a whole world of a difference to an entire family…



I hate to say this but I share the same sentiments of Sir Cliff Richard.

Last year…at the Live 8 concert…as I was watching it all unfold in front of my eyes…Sir Bob Geldoff…brought the whole world to a silent moment of reflection…He asked each of us to raise our right hands….A million hands went up…all over the world… and we were asked to snap our fingers…for every 3 seconds a child was dying of starvation in Africa….


And what are we going to do about it…what are we doing to save the next generation…

What are you doing to help the cause…

We have it all and yet we complain…but some where out there…there is a little one…a child…a poor hungry soul…looking out for someone to give it JUST ONE MORSEL OF BREAD…just one morsel…and just one drop of water…just one second of mirth…

All they want is just one moment of our time…
Just one moment...of our precious time…
Just one moment of our infinite lives…




Do We Have The Time…


To Make A Change?
To Make A Difference…?
To Make Someone Live?

Do We Have Just Moment…to say we care Before It Is Too Late?


Think About It!!!
