25 Years -- Feed the World, Band Aid

It's hard to believe that 25 years ago this song hit the air waves. Now 25 years later here in Jamaica we are experiencing drought, we are on the edge of civil unrest, the country is 10 - 19 billion dollars short for this fiscal year alone, rice (a staple here in Jamaica) is now more than $1us per pound, and just yesterady the Prime Minster's Office announced that the chicken industry would drop the price of chicken for one week, so that all might have access to chicken for Christmas. For some this song may bring back memories, for others they will say "what is that - look at that hair!" Maybe you have been blessed, in spite of difficult financial times world around, and you would like to help . . . consider St Mary's, Above Rocks, and Missions. P E A C E !
