[QUOTE="Laetca, post: 160172"] 11.11.11 (an organisation who's goal it is to raise money, which they then distribute amongst other third world help organisations) has been at it quite some time, I'm guessing they'll haul in a fair amount of goodies. The only sad thing in that is that 11.11.11 is about the north-south gap, mostly centering around poverty in afrika and less fortunate parts of south america. Nothing wrong with that, but it does draw away the attention from what the 3 11s actually stand for. The only people you'll see wearing poppies here in Flanders, are usually Brits, coming to visit either the trenches, or the massive graveyards. Visited it a few years ago, I have nothing to say about it in that I don't know which words I should use. I don't think you can use words to tell anyone how it feels to stand there. Maybe just visit it yourself someday. [/QUOTE]
