Reply to "Albinos in Danger"

Thank you for the post Sue.

I read about it in the newspaper, and this is absolutely shocking.

What is the matter with human beings? With all the technology we have available to us we are de-evolving instead of evolving.

This article was in the Globe and Mail newspaper tis morning:

Mr. Ash, a 44-year-old B.C. businessman who himself has albinism, is trying to change all of this. He has spent $1-million in a campaign against the albino killings, setting up an organization in Tanzania to lobby for justice and educate the public. He plans to spend a further $500,000 to $1-million annually to keep the fight alive.

Albinism, a genetic condition that causes a lack of pigmentation in the hair, skin and eyes, is more common in Africa than in North America. Most of the estimated 100,000 albinos in Tanzania are persecuted and fearful, and poorly educated because of vision problems. Mr. Ash visits the attack survivors to dispel the myths and provide support and scholarships.
