How can we Help

Subject: How can we Help

Greetings,

I have read some of your work on the internet regarding the distribution of
so-called "aid money" and how little it actually amounts to. This is a problem
the world has acknowledged and somehow ignored for many years I think. It is
easy for us to just put down the UN and say that the entire set up is a joke
which cares little for the needy and does less to help those whom they claim are
life's lesser civilisations.

We have, for years been exposed to pictures of starving, sick and dying children
in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and some parts of the Eastern block and yet
nothing is being done about it. We now have celebrities as you mentioned a few,
Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Oprah Winfrey, and others who are taking positive
steps and even these are not enough

I would like to know, how we, the simple lay people who work hard for a living,
can safely say we are contributing in a positive way to the refugees and our
brothers and sisters and their children who are sick and starving and dying
without being heard? Please let us know how we can help.

God bless you for your efforts.
