A thank you breakfast.

Campaign against violence to women and children.

Now who in their right mind would hurt a woman or a child?
And yet it happens every day and night here.

We were invited to attend a thank you breakfast early this morning as the theme was to honor those that stand at the front of the fight against violence to women and children.
My theme today is that nature teaches us how to protect our children.

This was the entrance to the farm where the breakfast was held.

This parking area would soon be filled with cars, as we have the habit of arriving early at events.

What a lovely old farm house and it felt like a crowd of witnesses of the past were swirling around here.

The battle troops started to arrive and soon the room was filled.

Some serious talks were soon active and the great thing was that every soul in the the room was of the same mind.

Old soldiers and old friends, as Marian was hugging a good friend here.

A hearty breakfast was served to the 50 attendants and I know that it is not many people, but our small army can climb big mountains in the battle against violence.

Since the beginning of time older than these mountains women and children were regarded as inferior and it remains a severe struggle to change this mindset even now in modern times.

The parent was not far away from his youngster in the first picture and here he sat to keep an eye on the skies for the danger of raptor birds.

A cat or a dog will never throw their litters away. They will defend their small children with their lives. When baboons have babies they are known to be very dangerous to any strangers in order to protect their babies.
And yet at a time up north Papillon had a project that supported 1500 orphans.

We also supported a Non-Profit called "A Hole in the Wall" where mothers who didn't want their babies could anonymously place their babies in the hole, ring a bell and then the baby would be fetched by staff at the other side of the wall.
This is us and we call ourselves people. Some of us burn our children with cigarettes when they are naughty. Others maim their wives and their children, yet others will kill their families.
So, it is up to us to do all that we can to stop this insanity.

We are indeed thankful to be honored for what we do in the protection fields, but we are only a drop in the ocean and we are fighting a massive monster.

And That's All Friends!
