Of course he is Sharron, he is the font of all knowledge. :-D

OK

Rollo, you will be the man to know.

Of course I am but you wouldn't want to read what I have written would you?

I doubt it is the families whose heads are already living out of the country who are having to resort to these desperate measures.

Isn’t Sharon referring to what is happening within these countries not refugees already in other countries?

If, as in most countries, refugees were allowed to work then a good part of the misery and poverty could quickly be elimianted. . It would also help local govt which ends up with most of the bill right now.

Nearly all of the heads-of-family refugees from Afghanistan are well educated and could soon find work. Germany profited mightily from opening the door to the Syrians.

Another one of my bright ideas I could never bring to fruition.

I will not have been alone in feeling horrified and totally helpless to see to see that there are families i Afghanistan who have resorted to selling their children just to get by.Whatever can you do to help? Two bob to Save the Children, would it help them?

Before we start, I would not be up to it, however, maybe an especially constituted charity to which we who are poor but horrified could contribute what little we have could buy those children.

Th spine-chilling report I saw on the news showed the baby staying with her family until her new owner (imagine that!) comes to deliver the second payment and collect her.

If a charity could buy the children, then they would 'belong'to the charity who could possibly take further interest in them, a way to educate maybe, so they would no longer be for sale and the family would have the revenue.

There might be other benefits that I have not thought of as well, diplomatic sort of stuff.

Oh well, just a thought.
