I hope you will bear with me for one week while I hijack Margaret's editorial section to inform you, the the readers of Morning Mirror, of some very pertinent facts. Margaret has been producing this e-mail journal for some 3 years now. The idea was conceived after Margaret was fired from ZBC for totally spurious reasons some years ago. At the time she was producing two weekly magazine programmes on ZBC with the same name that had run very successfully for many years. After Maggie's unceremonious termination it was perceived that there was a need in the community for an organ that carried news of local events other that the local newspapers which were being largely shunned at the time. Margaret was persuaded to do something on e- mail along the lines of what she had been doing on radio and hence the birth of Morning Mirror in its present format! Originally conceived as a newsletter through which to keep the Bulawayo community informed of local events and to advertise local fund raising efforts the mirror quickly evolved into the comprehensive missive it is today with a direct subscriber base ( not including the copies that are forwarded by individuals) touching on 7000 along with a web site that now receives in excess of 50,000 hits a month! From the outset Margaret has faithfully produced the Mirror every week with no personal gain or reward. As you are all aware there is no charge for advertising in the newsletter but what is requested is that a donation be made to a charity of Margaret's choice. Initially all donations went to SOAP. Now they all go to Edith Duly where Margaret and I are both involved in our capacities as Trustee and Chairman respectively. Edith Duly is a registered Welfare Organisation and is the only Frail Care Centre in Matabeleland. Many of the elderly patients housed there are totally incapable of contributing to their own upkeep and rely purely on charity for their survival. Balancing the books at an institution like Edith Duly which offers full board, nursing and convalescent services plus 24 hour supervision in today's' murderously inflationary environment with financially crippled Medical Aid Societies is a nightmare. The very survival of the Home relies heavily on the financial support from the Morning Mirror. Since donations have started accruing to Edith Duly in excess of a staggering $500,000,000 (half a billion dollars for those who have trouble with the noughts) have been paid to the Home in direct donations from advertisers in Morning Mirror. In addition, as a result of the appeals that have been carried in the Mirror on a regular basis there has been huge support from the Bulawayo Public and the Bulawayo Companies who have always generously come to the aid of the Home in so many different ways. I would like to use this opportunity to thank all of you, the advertisers, and those members of the public, and the Executives of the major and minor companies of Bulawayo who have contributed in kind whenever the need has arisen. Margaret has also used the Mirror as the medium to raise funds for the rebuilding of the Mater Dei Hospital which was so nearly destroyed by fire last year. Once again it proved to be a most effective tool bringing in billions in donations from all corners of the globe. I would also like to once again acknowledge the help Margaret received from her brother Gavin who set up her initial web site and the incredible selfless assistance she receives from Computer Guru Hylton, who is based in London and whom we have not even met yet; who now administers the web site as well as handles the mailing lists and deals with all Margaret's technical problems relating to the internet. Without Hylton's computer knowledge and IT wizardry Morning Mirror would not continue to exist. Hylton I know how much Margaret appreciates what you do and I thank you. Thanks also must go to Colin Flemming for allowing Morning Mirror space on the African Herd Worldwide Website and for producing such in- depth monthly statistics. However my main reason for hijacking this spot from "she who thinks she is in control" is to acknowledge the supreme effort made by by Margaret in keeping this whole venture together. Only I know the effort and heartache involved in getting this magazine out to the huge subscriber base every Monday; the collating and sorting of the masses of advertising and social data that needs to be processed every week , the handling of the irate phone calls and e-mails from advertisers who are not happy with the service they are receiving (fortunately very much in the minority). And all the while playing the role of Matriarch of a family, and a husband, that at times can be exceedingly demanding and dysfunctional! The production of the 'Mirror' goes ahead whether we are on planes, or boats or trains; whether we are in Harare, Johannesburg, Binga, Perth, Chimanimani, Dallas, Waco or London; whether there are floods, drought or power cuts; whether the drinking club with the bridge problem was lost or won. Nothing gets in the way, and nothing has got in the way for 185 editions! And for that supreme effort, for no reward, I wish to acknowledge and recognise Margaret's special contribution to the elderly of Bulawayo and to the society of Bulawayo in general. More than anyone Margaret deserves a special prayer and silent vote of thanks from all those who have been affected in some way by her generosity of spirit and public spiritedness over the years. I know that God will thank her in his own way for being someone special with a heart that has an infinite capacity to care and act, especially for her beloved Bulawayo. From all the people whose lives you have touched Margaret, Thank You. Your ever loving husband, who, for the information of the readers, is very rarely obeyed, Rick (AKA HEEHOO) ++++++++++++++ NOTICES On behalf of the Lions Club of Bulawayo could you please include an appeal in your Morning Mirror for any spectacles and hearing aids that are no longer needed by their owners?

Tel: 242486 +++++++++ KEANO MOORE NEEDS YOUR HELP My son Keano was born at 6 1/2 - 7 months premature, by vacuum extraction, weighing 2.260kg. He was discharged and 3 days after being discharged, he developed a severe umbilical sepsis, with an umbilical abscess ( due to n-sterilised equipment), he had to have an emergency operation, then a week later Doctors found another abscess, he had to have another operation, whilst recovering from the 2nd operation (within the same week) the Nurses left a canula in his arm, because his HB was so low, he developed another abscess, and yes he had to have yet another operation, making this his third operation. In February 2006 (being 9 months old) he had to have an emergency circumcision, as his hole was closing due to having to much medication and was having difficulty urinating. As you may or may not have read in the past few weeks, he had to have another emergency operation (my plea was in the Morning Mirror 183, Tuesday 11th April 2006) The Doctors in Harare have discharged us, as they have discovered, after many tests, that Keano has a Rare White Blood Disorder. They informed me that further tests need to be done in South Africa, as Zimbabwe does not have the equipment to do these tests (i.e leukaemia, Cancer etc.) I am therefore appealing to anyone, in a position, to help me financially to help raise SAR 100 000.00 for tests that need to be done (i.e Bone marrow, chemotherapy etc.) I have a Doctors letter stating Keanos condition and stating that he needs to have these tests done in South-Africa as soon as possible (a copy can be sent to you, if required), and the Doctor has informed me that my time is indefinite. I have attached a list of various bank accounts, if there is anyone who would be in a position to assist. Your assistance, help would be greatly appreciated (how ever small, every little bit helps), I would be eternally grateful. We need to get to South-Africa urgently, as the Doctors in Zimbabwe cannot help anymore. Once again, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Mana, and I were devastated. As the emails, messages and phone calls poured in, we were overwhelmed that so many people loved, respected and felt the loss as we did. Keith was a man who truly loved his family, country and friends and stuck by his beliefs. Keith was not afraid to say what he thought. Mana is now a third year photojournalism student at Rhodes University. She quite clearly follows in her father's footsteps. She is a bright and very special, talented young lady. I will be in the UK this year to do some caring for five months. My ultimate base will be Hermanus, in the Western Cape of South Africa. Keith's latest book is titled "Between the Sunlight and the Thunder" edited by Brian Marsh and published by Rowland Ward. The ISBN no is 0-9584939-1-X and available from sales@rowlandward.com or fax (27 11) 4831163. Their website is www rowlandward.com The book is based on fact with the excellent historical research that was always so important to Keith. When Keith and I owned Thorntree Press he was in direct contact with many of you and I believe that a large number of ex Zimbabweans bought his books as three publications have now sold out. Due to the sad circumstances I have written about below, Keith has been unable to communicate with you about his last novel," Between the Sunlight and the Thunder" which was published in September 2005. I found your e-mail address in one of Keith's diaries that have been returned to me, and feel that Keith would have liked me to re-establish contact with our Zim friends, now sadly scattered all over the world, hence the following communication. I presume that he did not contact you. My best wishes to you all Angie Meadows. April 2006 "Anyone who has experienced war, set in the grandeur of the African bush, the Africa of then and now, will feel a pang of nostalgia and recollection which can only be conveyed by a talented author such as Keith Meadows, who has been there, seen it and done it!"

Pension entitlements have devalued over time with the high inflation rate in Zimbabwe, with the result that many Pensioners either no longer receive their pensions, or their value can decreased to such an extent as to be worthless. Many are now relying upon support of families to stay alive and make ends meet. Some have no family network to support them. Some of the feedback comments available on the Petition site have highlighted this. I believe that all Zimbabwe Pensioners should be entitled to receive their pensions at the historic rate of $2 to one Pound Sterling. Pressure needs to be put on political leaders, particularly those in the G8 Countries, to redress this injustice. Some Pensioners who are due these entitlements have already passed away - and have lost out; in such instances remaining family members should inherit what their parents did not receive. At the end of June 2006, the petition will be sent to the appropriate British representative of the G8 group. Therefore as many signatures on the petition site are requested. I shall also be contacting the media, unions etc to try and gain their support for this issue. Your help in obtaining signatures on this site (anyone with a computer can sign it) is therefore appreciated. So please let all your Zimbabwean friends know about this site. www.gopetition.com/region/222/7681.html I ask all supporters to visit our recently established Blog Page www.zim-pensions.blogspot.com rbb@lizzy.com.au +++++++++++ CONGRATULATIONS ENGAGEMENT Kevin and Sharon announce the engagement of their Mother, Carol Gillett to Alban Williams on Easter Sunday.

It all began when a young African prince from the vast and thirsty plains of Bechuanaland was sent to England by his royal uncles in search of education, and fell in love with an English rose. Together they transformed his country from a poverty-stricken tribal society into the modern nation of Botswana - an oasis of sanity in a region of racial hatred. details Wilftrish_mbanga@hotmail.com +++++++++ Military Memorabilia Wanted Genuine Collector seeks the following for private collection - not for resale.

Water is an important structural component of skin cartilage, tissues and organs. For human beings, every part of the body is dependent on water. Our body comprises about 75% water: the brain has 85%, blood is 90%, muscles are 75%, kidney is 82% and bones are 22% water. The functions of our glands and organs will eventually deteriorate if they are not nourished with good, clean water. The average adult loses about 2.5 litres water daily through perspiration, breathing and elimination. Symptoms of the body's deterioration begins to appear when the body loses 5% of its total water volume. In a healthy adult, this is seen as fatigue and general discomfort, whereas for an infant, it can be dehydrating. In an elderly person, a 5% water loss causes the body chemistry to become abnormal, especially if the percentage of electrolytes is overbalanced with sodium. One can usually see symptoms of ageing, such as wrinkles, lethargy and even disorientation. Continuous water loss over time will speed up ageing as well as increase risks of diseases. If your body is not sufficiently hydrated, the cells will draw water from your bloodstream, which will make your heart work harder. At the same time, the kidneys cannot purify blood effectively. When this happens, some of the kidney's workload is passed on to the liver and other organs, which may cause them to be severely stressed. Additionally, you may develop a number of minor health conditions such as constipation, dry and itchy skin, acne, nosebleeds, urinary tract infection, coughs, sneezing, sinus pressure, and headaches. So, how much water is enough for you? The minimum amount of water you need depends on your body weight. A more accurate calculation, is to drink an ounce of water for every two pounds of body weight.

Here's some inspiration for you: Hachiko, Japan's most celebrated canine. A dog who walked his owner to the train station every day and came back to receive him in the evening after work. When his owner died one day while at office, this faithful dog refused to go home and waited patiently at the station -- for ten years(!) -- until his own passing. To see the bronze statue erected at the station that thousands of dog-lovers and travellers from around the world visit each year, click here. http://charityfocus.org/php-bin/qad.php?n=2348 ++++++ Be The Change: Who are the Hachikos (patient supporters) in your life? Take a moment to remember the love and support of a friend whose steadfast presence in your life has made a difference. Drop them a note of appreciation. Today. +++++ Ideas won't work unless you do. -- Author Unknown ++++++ Good News of the Day: Twenty years ago, Nepal's infant-mortality rate was 133 for every 1,000 births, with most of the babies claimed by pneumonia and diarrhoea. By the 1980s, they had found the culprit -- lack of Vitamin A in the Nepalese diet. But no one could implement an effective program to deliver a low-cost vitamin-A capsule that could be taken as infrequently as twice a year. That was until Ram Shrestha hit upon a brilliant insight -- get the grandmothers to volunteer! Today, the infant mortality rate has been halved, thanks to 49,000 grandmothers distributing Vitamin A to 3.5 million Nepalese children. http://charityfocus.org/php-bin/qad.php?n=2359 ++++++ Be The Change: Have an idea that will promote some good in the world?

The son of a steel worker and a housewife, neither a high school graduate, Michael took off for India. While working at Mother Teresa's mission in Calcutta, he asked her how he might practice compassion $18,000 richer. She suggested opening a school in the country's poorest, most heavily tribal state, rural Orissa. What started then is now Citta: a nonprofit serving marginalised communities with schools, hospitals, orphanages and centres in Mexico, Nepal, and India. http://qad.charityfocus.org/more.php?n=2347 +++++ Be The Change: Ever find an unexpected $5 note in your jacket pocket?
