A friend of mine (who has come into an inheritance lately) asked me what charity she should donate to this chritsmas. I immediately said Medicins Sans Frontieres which is more popularly known as Doctors Without Borders. They do an amazing job and they are needed more than ever in this war ravaged world of ours. They're doctors are respected by everyone no matter what side of a war a person is on bcuz they show no governmental agenda and only focus on the human plight. I love their work and have donated to them whenever I can. I urge you all do to the same. Please go to the MSF website and look in the top right corner for the donations page.

Please give generously. No matter how bad your or my life might look bcuz we have exams, essays, relationship problems, little money, no time etc. It is small in comparison to a child somewhere in the world who might die tomorrow of a simple ear infection. Or a man, woman or child who will die or be crippled by polio or small pox, diseases which we have not even seen in the west during the last two generations. Please give.

also.. If you would like to know of some other charities.. here are some excellent ones that have an impeccable record of actually helping people rather than wasting their money on government agendas.

-- Sick Kids Hospital (Canada)
-- Ronald McDonald House
-- OxFam
-- Amnesty International
-- Water Aid

It just occured to me that this might look so strange to some, me posting up charitable organisations on my blog; but, even if one of my readers/friends donates even one dollar to even one of these charities, then thsi post will not have gone to waste.

May this Chritsmas, Hanukkah, New Year and the recently past Eid and Diwali make our world a much more better place to live in. Amen.
