Advancing brotherly love

[Guest guest]

I heard someone say that while Americans are very giving, the American

public often waits until it sees the first sign of wounded before it is moved

to give to established aid and relief organizations.

I wonder how relief organizations can afford to get to a place where they

are needed, set up their special treatment and relief centers, and give food,

medicine, and clothing to victims. They must be receiving advance donations and

supplies from farsighted donors. They will probably require much, much more than

they are starting out with.

Anyone who wishes to help others, now is a good time.

Love to all,

Carol

Dear Carol

I agree. I heard an interview of a relief worker yesterday on NPR. She said

that countries who typically provide aid are waiting to give for politically

driven motives.

 

A great service would be a web site define those charities that truly do give to

the needy rather than keeping most for themselves and their executives...or

worse, financing the terrorists and perpetrators themselves. Do you know of

any such site or relief organizations that get the aide directly to those in

need?

 

Thank you for another heart-centered post.

Dear Cynthia,

 

There may indeed be websites devoted to checking out the efficacy of various

charitable organizations. These websites would of course have their own

political agendas, you understand..

My great-uncle once told me that Salvation Army has helped many, many people

all over the world, without politicizing. May all find that which resonates best

within themselves.

Love, Carol
