In the mail from Prison Fellowship International last week. Help with donations for children, around the world, who are born while their mothers are in prison.

#2 Another KCBS headline: Mumbai, India, a building collapsed killing 72 people sending 72 people to the hospital they have given up searching for bodies. The builders of the sub par apartments, which is a common occurrence in India, are on the run from the law.
