There are a lot of children who are ill in these times of the year. Some of them are even in a hospital.

Reduce stress in the world. It has many sources: from big issues like hunger & disease to daily hassles like noise. A demanding job & time pressure or stress of unemployment. Life events like losing someone or moving. We all, rich or poor, wherever we are, suffer from some form of stress every single day. Reduce it & help cope! An idea from Yvonne
