I spent the whole day in the carport today being all manly and creative.

I’m making some big cut-outs of Millenium Development Goal 4.

Reducing child mortality.

Next Monday and Tuesday I’ll be in Parliament House with 269 other people lobbying politicians to increase out aid giving to 0.7% of our GDP and specifically looking at increasing funds for fighting child mortality as it is one of the MDG’s that is lagging the most.

Anyway I’m making these cut outs for using at an eent on the fonrt lawns of Parliament house.

I think they are coming along nicely, and i’m getting the hand of my new jigsaw.

I’m making 5 of them and so far only 1 is finished.

    I think child mortality is increasing in Guatemala unfortunately. This season there hasn´t been enough rain and they think there might be a famine beginning in some parts of the country.

    The big boards are good.

    Is the first reason for your hotness?
