Children in Need.

[ionnsaigh]

How many children in Campbeltown, are in need ? none, One, Hundreds ? How many parents... can't afford donations ?
How many children gave up something... to contribute ? How many just pestered their parents, to open the purse ?
The TV coverage of this yearly event, is crossly over exposed, millions tuning in.. akin to the X- Factor. The amount of pressure incurred, particularly with Schoolchildren ( Parents ) is growing in horrendous proportions. Perhaps the pupils can devote time, in examining the causes of poverty in Kintyre, one thing is for sure..... the answer doesn't lie in Mums purse or Dads wallet. It's about time we had the courage.... to end this yearly fiasco... that pulls at children s heart strings...and address - barbaric poverty - once and for all.
