It's hard to phathom nearly a billion starving people...the thought keeps me grateful. Thanks for the reminder not to quit helping, even with a few bucks, whether inside or outside our borders. I believe in taking care of our own but use outside charities that can turn a few dollars into something so much more...it's amazing what can be accomplished for $1 in impoverished countries.
