Pakistan and Flooding....will relief come?
good morning,
its been a while. i was on summer holidays....BUT I'M BACK!!!!!!
so i have been reading about the flooding in Pakistan and they are horrific to say the very least. hundreds of thousands of people are homeless and without food. the threat of disease has set in.
WHAT CAN WE DO???? help them.
diplomats, governments and the UN have surveyed and assessed the devastated area and all are saying that this is the WORST disaster of flooding ever. SO WHAT? EXACTLY WHAT ARE THEY DOING ABOUT IT??? not a lot really. they do what every country does....they throw money at the problem. don't get me wrong, Pakistan needs the money to rebuild the areas affected....but most of all they need MEDICINE AND FOOD.
WHY DON'T THE COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD START SENDING MEDICAL SUPPLIES AND FOOD??? WHY DON'T THEY SEND PEOPLE THAT ARE ORGANIZED TO DISTRIBUTE IT PROPERLY? WHY ARE THE GOVERNMENTS NOT TALKING TO THE PAKISTANI GOVERNMENT ABOUT GOING IN TO HELP? WHY ARE WE NOT SENDING PEOPLE TO COME UP WITH ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS?
MONEY IS NOT THE ANSWER ALL THE TIME. the PM said that he would contribute 33 million in aid....where will that money go?? WHO KNOWS? probably to the pockets of those who don't need it, probably to the bank accounts off shore to those that steal it.
HELP THESE PEOPLE.....individuals are everywhere raising money for these people. they are faceless, but they are not faceless in our hearts.
WHO CAN WE TRUST TO MAKE SURE MONEY AND SUPPLIES MAKE IT TO THE RIGHT PLACE? not the governments of the world that's for sure.
give it to Angelina Jolie...there is a better chance that she would find a way to have it distributed than any government.
SO HOW DO YOU HELP? easy, if you are reading this then you have a computer. if you have a computer then you can look up locally where to begin to help. don't just shrug it off and say that it is to far away from your world to matter....THIS IS YOUR WORLD!!!!! AND THE CITIZENS OF IT NEED YOUR HELP. do the right thing and find out how you can help. try OXFAM or CARE. THAT IS ONE PLACE TO START. see what your religious community is able to do....there are many ways.
governments have to begin to think of the long term as well. how will food be grown, what can be grown?? this is some of the long term planning that needs to be done right now. throwing money at a cause does not fix the long term affects.
PLEASE......GIVE OF YOUR HEART.
WOULD YOU NOT WANT STRANGERS TO GIVE TO YOU IF YOU WERE IN THIS SITUATION?
THANK YOU
