Travis Tritt donates to Pennsylvanian volunteer fire company
Country singer Travis Tritt will give 25 000 dollars to the Sipesville Volunteer Fire Company that led the rescue of nine coal miners buried 77 hours in a Pennsylvania mine on July 27. He praised the rescue as a hopeful, patriotic moment amid troubling news. Mia Farrow, UN goodwill ambassador, visited famine struck Angola with her 13 year old son Seamus amid civil war destruction. Aid groups warn half a million may starve as land mines hinder relief, with 4 to 5 million mines infecting the country and 60 casualties monthly. The conflict has displaced about 4 million people, roughly one third of Angola’s population.
