This is me. This is my Future.

27th May 2011 By Susan Mann Leave a Comment


The lovely and sweet Tracy from White Lily Green tagged me in this wonderful Meme. It’s wonderful because it helps support and promote the fantastic work by Save The Children. It also teaches our children how lucky they are.
So PLEASE sign the petition

In January Save the Children launched it’s most ambitious campaign to date, No Child Born to Die. Every year 8 million children under five die from illnesses we know how to treat or prevent, such as diarrhoea and pneumonia.
Save The Children is focusing on the provision of vaccinations and healthcare workers. In June there is a meeting in London hosted by David Cameron and attended by other world leaders. Save The Children aims to make as much noise as possible to ensure the funding shortfall for vaccinations (4.7 billion) is met by all the donor countries.
If this funding gap is met the vaccines that could then be provided would save the lives of millions of children.
This week 3 bloggers/ vloggers are going to Mozambique to follow the journey of a vaccine from the coldstore in the city right down to a rural community. They will write, make films and tweet about their experiences, the children and families they meet and the challenges of “cold” vaccinations in hot countries.
This Challenge is designed to support their work – to spread the word about their No Child Born to Die campaign and to highlight the funding shortfall for vaccines.
My children dream about being pop stars and scientists. We are so lucky that our children can have the future they’ve always dreamed of. We have all the things we take for granted in our everyday lives – medicines, education and even clean water from our taps.
So, the challenge is:
So our challenge is simple:
1) Get your child to either draw or craft a self portrait of themselves now or in the future.
3) Sign the Save the Children petition and then pass it onto your friends
4) Write a blog post about it as soon as possible, including info about Save the Children and the petition. We want as many people linked up AND signed up the petition by Sunday 29th May 2011
5) Tag 8 fellow blogger friends
6) Come back and link up your posts, so we can all share your craftiness.
7) If you have time, visit each other posts and say hello!
And don’t forget to follow all the action in Mozambique on Twitter using the hastag #PassItOn.
Lucas who is 4 wants to be a fireman. He is so lucky to grow up where he does and have what he has. I don’t think he fully appreciates it, but I try to install these values in him. 

Here is his picture of him as a fireman:-



I think it’s not too bad to be honest. 


So, Who to tag? I’m sure you won’t mind as this it’s for a great cause!
