Queen Noor Pays A Compassionate Visit to Colombia
HelloMagazine.com

28 OCTOBER 2004

http://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2004/10/28/queennoor/#enviarQueen Noor of Jordan has travelled to the troubled South American nation of Colombia as part of her long-running efforts to rid the world of landmines. King Hussein's widow jetted into the capital Bogota to show her support for the country's government when it made good on a commitment to do away with its mines.

Standing stood side-by-side with President Alvaro Uribe, the 53-year-old watched army experts destroy 7,000 of the deadly weapons in a serious of deafening explosions. Decades of paramilitary conflict have left the nation with thousands of the devices buried around its countryside.

"Colombia has been ravaged by internal conflict," said the royal visitor. "And it is unique in the world for being in conflict and at the same time destroying its stocks of landmines. It takes a lot of courage for the armed forces to take these kinds of decisions."

Noor also found time to visit a craft fair in the town of Morroa, which is in one of the worst affected areas. The UN ambassador was given a warm welcome by local people, who invited her to inspect their handicrafts and take a few souvenirs home.

Glasses and lasser

Sorry, let me to ask what is lasser? Are you suggesting that it's possible to care eyes with lasser?

Laser eye surgery. It corrects the vision of people who wear glasses. Its been around for years.

 

[maryshawn]

Yes, its been around since early 80s--the kind I had, RK, was a precursor and not done with a laser but a cookie cutter type instrument.

Anyway, re: Noor, as she had the surgery the year KH died, that means she had 20 years as his wife when her eyesight was horrible and she alternated between glasses and contact lens. I know there have to be photos of her wearing glasses out there......her eyes were rejecting the contact lens--a common occurence after many years--which is why she had the LASIK. So there must have been events she attended wearing glasses instead. Just curious as I'd never seen her in them tho' she mentions them in her book.
