A Mother’s Love – Carries Son On Her Shoulders For 35 Years

*** begin quote ***

Xiong was brought up in three damp, dingy rooms in the Taluo mountain village, Nanpeng county, southwest of Chongqing municipality.

“But we were later told that he is deformed, which sentenced Xiong to being unable to stand up for life. Many neighbors have suggested I abandon him for his own sake as well, but how could I ever do that?” said Wen.

She said since then, she knew the child needed to be helped for the rest of his life.

“I think every mother would do the same thing.”

[JR: This tugs at the heartstrings and makes one marvel at dedication of this woman. And, woman and mothers in general. This is heroic. And, I know lots of Moms who do similar stuff. To varying degree. But it does make me wonder if I could be that dedicated?]

ENDNOTE: PNG all male Ugandan diplomats?

Independent Appeal: Jennipher, the woman thrown to the dogs

When Nathan Awoloi bought his wife for two cows, he believed it gave him the right to treat her like an animal. Claire Soares reports from Pallisa, Uganda, on the charity that saved her

Thursday, 31 December 2009

*** begin quote ***

Hunched over a sewing machine, Jennipher Alupot is an unlikely poster girl for the women’s rights movement. In fact, the young Ugandan mother is totally unaware of how her story – almost too horrific to be believed – has caused waves across the country and down the corridors of power, ultimately giving thousands of abused women the chance of justice.

*** end quote ***

[JR: How can we treat any country as an equal that treats half their population that way? How about we declare all the Ugandan MALE diplomats as persona non grata? Certainly would create a career path for women! And, let’s toss the UN and stamp PNG on all the spies and tyrants. We need to be the shining city!]

[JR: P.S. DO NOT read the underlying link on a full stomach. It’ll make you sick.]
