Flood Of Emotion
It seems strange to think that, just a few months ago, the whole world mobilized to aid Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, etc and now we’re faced with another watery tragidy of incomprehensable scope. I’m sure that everyone is abuzz about this topic, but I just wanted to say that, as we all reach into our reserves of support, that we not forget the local tragidies. Around the corner, perhaps on the next block, there’s a person going to sleep hungry. There may be an elderly person in need of assistance, or a child that can’t afford a school uniform. As we give to the larger, and vital, efforts that, for me, seem so distant, let us not forget that we must support local charities, and local causes.
