Even though the nation of Iceland is bankrupt, the kind-hearted people who live there answered a call for help. Apparently in the UK, it was projected that as many as a dozen of their pensioners (seniors) would die this year from the cold because they won't be able to afford to heat their homes. Shocked by this news, which was aired over their radio waves, the folks of Iceland started a drive to collect wool jumpers, hats, and gloves to send to the UK pensioners in danger. This is literally a heart-warming tale, as Icelanders gathered some 3000 jumpers (wool sweaters) and distributed them to the pensioners in need in the UK. I think I should start learning Icelandic, so I can learn how to say, "You people rock!" What a wonderful place full of caring souls. For a more complete story, please click on the link below.
