The TV's Bust !

At precisely 20:37 on Tuesday 17 March, disaster struck the House. It was totally unexpected and no disaster recover programs had been put in place beforehand to respond to such a terrible catastrophe. Signs of life could still be heard, but the screen had become a total blank. No matter of pressing buttons, turning on and off or bashing the side of the TV could bring a picture back to the lifeless screen. Confusion and panic reigned. The younger kids were screaming and crying while the older ones were starting to blame each other for the tragedy. The cook had already deserted the House and was well on her way down the road to a friend's house, in time to watch ‘Sinetron'.
TV - gone but not forgotten	No more laughter…..no more smiles	Ayu mourns the loss

To date the TV remains broken. The children have settled down to life without the box and have been focused on their local school and national exams over the past few weeks. However, now the exams are drawing to a close, the issue of a working television begins to surface again……..or indeed any other items that can help entertain and occupy their minds. The House lacks much in the way of entertainment and games for the children. Perhaps the kind reader, reading the list below, might feel moved to donate something that can help bring smiles and laughter back to their poor unhappy faces….
