POD: Tivoli Stories – The Real Gangsta Chronicles pt.1
POD: Tivoli Stories – where it all began.. Jamaicas’ First Civil War

Today We Start The Tivoli Stories – the reality of the Jamaican Civil War
First let us give you a little history lesson from Jamaica. this is the story that breaks the seal on the book. you see Tivoli is the heart of Jamaica for many reasons. most of them stem from the money links developed through the kingston stronghold and their community leaders – like the man Jim Brown.
Anybody Got a Spare Kidney ?

Santa, Can You Bring Me a Kidney for Christmas Please..
I’m not talking crazy nor am I talking figuratively. I’m asking for a Kidney this christmas for My Hubby.
Record-setting Kidney Swap Saves Lives.
I don’t talk about the hubby much, because he is so private. there is alot going on at my home right now in many ways. deaths, problems, issues with health and of course living with hubbys’ renal failure. His doctors have given him a no-go on a transplant. this is in essence a death sentence. a very slow and painful death sentence.
this is not a choice you get to make, when you need an organ; it’s a choice made for you by doctors, nurses and a committee.
yes a committee decides if you are worthy of receiving even a cadaver kidney..
this is ludicrous to me, because if I am willing to donate a kidney to be a part of a transplant chain, surely they can put it together. but alas that’s not how it works; if you are not a millionaire.
that’s why that mass transplant was such a christmas miracle for each of the donors and recipients. I pray for them all and ask you to think about your loved ones this year. you never know what could be just around the corner for you, health wise.
Then we have this story where the doctor himself is accused of Buying and Selling Organs. there have been many reports of Indian Organ Rackets over the years. this is the first time I have seen a doctor as the accused. this just goes to show you, how bad the problem is for those who are in need of an organ. India has a hospital system for transplants; and apparently it works.
As the loved one of someone who has been denied a chance at a transplant; and also as a confirmed Organ Donor; I just want to take this time to say to each of my friends – cherish the time, live it to it’s fullest and savour it like the finest cognac. Life is a present. there is nothing greater than being able to wake up and see the day, and those you love.
This Christmas, Think of those who Love You
Give Of Yourself – Literally. This is Your Way of Making History. In the age of science and technology, nothing is more elusive than Life. Do all you can to make it the best you can make it, and never forget those who’s lives are impacted by yours.
Make it Memorable for All – Give YOU This Holiday, Peace, Love and Hope to You All

Who Deserves Human Rights?
EVERYONE DOES
| Hi RE,
With 80 percent of Haitians living in abject poverty, many children are forced to work against their will in homes, fields, gangs and as prostitutes. As many as 200,000 are the victims of human trafficking. But there is a solution: microfinance. » These children are driven into trafficking for economic reasons. Reducing poverty, therefore, would help stop this slave trade in children. It’s simple really: through microfinance, small loans enable hard-working women to open small businesses that let them feed and shelter their families. Just a few dollars a day in added income can mean children do not have to be forced into work. Instead, they can go to school and be healthy. Former President Clinton is the UN Special Envoy to Haiti. At the top of his priorities is sustainable job creation. Tell him that there is no better way to protect Haiti’s children and create sustainable jobs than microfinance. »
