Women have been maligned and mistreated thoughout history. I would like to play an active part in the empowerment of women and the reinstatement of their long lost honor.

Most recently, November 2009, my mother and stepfather, who are in their sixties and seventies, respectively, have called for assistance. They care for five orphaned children in South Africa. My stepfather has had a stroke and is no longer able to run the home and the school that they provide for the kids. My Mom is exhausted. It is time for them to pack it in and for a younger, more energetic couple to take up the baton. My wife, my son and I have seriously considered respondingto Mom and Pappa's clarion call, but, as it turns out, to do so would mean leaving the UK pretty much immediately  to take on this incredibly challenging and necessary task. This is not possible for us at this time, so someone else is going to have to take up the challenge. I hope and pray that whatever happens to the orphans will be ultimately in their best interest and with the least amount of upheaval.

I hope that Hub Pages readers, and Twitter followers can help me to broadcast this information. I intend to update as and when I know more about what transpires.
