This baby snake got lots of attention at the BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition in the RDS yesterday. He was friendly enough to hold, rub and cuddle but only of course if you wanted to!!!

‘Do not let what you can’t do interfere with what you can do.’ ~John Wooden

The earthquake in Haiti can only be described as devastating. In a country that is wrecked by hurricanes, political upheavals, violent transfers of power and now an earthquake with at least 50,000 people dead is another cruel blow. Nature is a powerful force in itself, outside all of our control and it always seems to affect the poorest people of the world like Haiti. Thankfully as we know a huge relief operation is being put in place. While there seems to be little we can do right now as we watch the clips coming through on news channels, we can pray for the people of Haiti in their utter devastation. We pray that the relief effort will have maximum effect and we also pray that those who need help most will get it.
