Africa. The cradle of humanity. Where human beings got underway. Thank GOD they have people from America to show them how to do it because with us they are lost. Is that what you are seriously trying to say. And what of the people in the Mahoning Valley who need education, health care, and compassion? What I am saying is valid no matter how you try and redefine it. Charity starts at home. Maybe if we lift up one of our neighbors that child might someday go on to help make the world a better place.
Charity starts at home. But not much publicity in that.
A church is a community organization and that should be their priority. I can see the need to help others. But honestly, what what helped in Sierra Leone or Youngstown by paying the airlines $2200 a pop to get these folks there and back.
Again, mail the charity, spend the saved money helping out some kids that they drive by every day.
I know this is going to bring a lot of people tremendous torment because I dare to question. But alas, I do.
Are there no more poor, hungry, needy children left in Youngstown? Are the schools all topped off with supplies? Every one fed, clothed, sheltered? Is North Eastern Ohio awash in do-gooders so much so that they now need to travel to make a difference?
Just the money they spent on travel and the school supplies would have made a huge difference in a lot of little lives in the valley. I don't think these people should be honored for their works, I think they should be questioned about their priorities. Mail the soccer balls and supplies because postage is far less that plane tickets. Then spend the travel money to feed some hungry people at home.
Where will you be at 12:34:56 p.m. today?
I'm hording water, food, and supplies. Then heading for the basement. THE WORLD IS GOING TO END!!!!!!!! OMG.

Once again, I guess I just don't get it.
