Winter is here

Winter is here : In Qatar the temperature dropped bellow10 C . With window AC -s and no heating systems it can be quite uncomfortable . Especially  for small babies .Electric heater is a must have item in every  home .Too bad - they are very weak devices  -some of them last no longer than two weeks ,
It is the time to learn to how to make " karak"  the famous  local  hot  tea . It is time to show off your boots and  and  fur coats . Winter fashion is a status symbol here .Most people do not have a full set of winter wear in their wardrobe .

Winter is the death for some people in  areas with war and refugees .Syria , Gaza ..There was a big snow storm there last week.

My dad was only six years old when they had to hide in a cold cellar during  the siege of his village .He was about to freeze to death when the siege was over and he was given  snow massage by a soldier .

What for we are here on this Earth ? To ease the suffering of the others  - a Hungarian  philosopher told so  .. he just died the other day ..
If you can help just a little bit  then do so ...you might have some blankets/warm clothes -then  put them near  the garbage for anyone can see that they are free ... there are 1 .5 millions of people who came here from terrible conditions .It is not sure that they can afford a coat or a blanket ....
