Restoring peace and stability to East Timor
Thinking of all the women and children in East Timor. Currently, the conflict that is raging in that country has brought some dark hours to the lives of many innocent people.
We all hope and pray that the young and old are spared from the wave of pain and suffering that is sweeping across their land.

For the people in Darfur, Sudan
A war has been going on for years in Sudan which is no stranger to acute human suffering and starvation.
A large part of the world is ignorant of the dire circumstances that prevailed in the very troubled African nation.
Civil unrest and wanton killings have been going on for years. Children are recruited by opposing forces and are taught to kill in exchanged for food and water.
May their suffering and plight end in the most compassionate way.

During his prime, there were few boxers to could stand in the same ring as Patterson and not fall. Patterson had had an illustrious boxing career.
