18 out of 18 people (100%) think this is worth doing.
(What is RSS?)
How I did it: I looked on the Amnesty site, read the amazing and very poignant stories of those imprisoned, tortured or missing because of their religious of political beliefs, and sent cards to some of them. It is a small gesture, but big deeds are made up small gestures and doing something is better than doing nothing at all.
Lessons & tips: I woulr recommend everyone to do this and to join Amnesty!

PurpleHeather is a Tree Hugging Extroverted De-Clutterer
You may have seen in the news that UK resident Binyam Mohamed has been released from Guantánamo Bay.
Binyam Mohamed was one of the recipients of this year’s Greetings card campaign organised by Amnesty International. Read about the progress of this case here.
finally went to the post office and got it done!
and,in the process had a wonderful conversation with such a great person who works at the P.O.
here are some fronts of some cards that the kids (at the library – not mine!) and I made!

One recipient wanted to receive white ribbons so they could make a visible sign of support to those imprisoning them. I have just found some white ribbon so that card went out.
Remember this campaign carries on till the end of January.
