Hope


... and positive thinking


well said Registrar

From Emily Dickinson:

Hope     

Hope is the thing with feathers
 That perches in the soul,
 And sings the tune--without the words,
 And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
 And sore must be the storm
 That could abash the little bird
 That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,
 And on the strangest sea;
 Yet, never, in extremity,
 It asked a crumb of me.

Says it all for me.

The most hopeful song I can come up with

The McCanns are criticised at every turn.

Sadly, an initiative on YouTube to help find other missing children, developed in collaboration with the McCanns, was at first popular.. and then dropped into oblivion.

It is still a useful opportunity to publicise a missing child at relatively low cost (legal paperwork and translations, mainly, plus any costs in producing a video appeal) in order to get the child featured.



About Don't You Forget About Me

The International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), in collaboration with the Find Madeleine Campaign and with the generous support of YouTube, has created this channel to help reunite missing children with their families.

The title of the channel, "Don't You Forget About Me," is named after the hit song by the Scottish Rock group "Simple Minds," and is featured in the video of 4-year-old Madeleine McCann who went missing on May 3, 2007.

ICMEC is providing this channel as a public service. Any errors or misrepresentation of information on the channel are unintentional. Please contact us at video@icmec.org to report any errors or incorrect information.

Founded in 1998, ICMEC is a leading global service agency working to protect the world's children from exploitation and abduction.

You've posted the same link 3 times on the same thread.

The background song was by Dido, in case anyone is wondering.

Thanks Carana.  Sorry but I cant get it to open


This video is so moving, it brought the tears to my eyes

... and then

they ran down my cheeks




But it is worth a look.

That was the second link in my earlier post.

It's a really useful means of publicising missing kids.

Was trying to upload (or download, dont know the technical expression) all the videos mentioned in the thread, but suddenly the youtube facility on my computer has changed.  All in a matter of seconds!

I now get a notice

And no youtubes will play .... even the ones that I was looking at a second before

Anyone help please?
