We must stop sending folk home in tears

West Side Story with Natalie Wood and Richard Beymer, great singing and dancing if ever you get chance to see it again , you should. At least  6 people were seeing it for the first time, but even though some knew the ending, there were still hankies and sniffles in evidence. As the audience was a mixture of French and English it was useful to be able to have French " sous titres"
Jean Marie and Winnie  Nosal expressed their thanks to everyone who was supporting Via Sahel Enfants d' Afrique. Jean is on the phone daily with his staff in the school and hospital and there are great worries for the many French people living and working in Mali. He said there are real fears for the school children and hospital staff and patients as they are the sort of  soft targets al Qaeda would go for.
Back to our cinema evening, one French lady who is a regular at our evenings said it had made a difference to her life, so that in itself is satisfying.  Thanks to Jill Spearman for the " apero dinatoire" and we were able to give two cheques to the cause.
