I often tried to skip the column for difficult situations in need of help cos it makes me feel sad and bad. However, scattered charity acts sometimes somewhere do not really make me feel significant changes that my efforts could bring in.
Today, i just read one article about a family which grandma is mad, father is dead of social disease, mother is dying of blood cancer, 1 grade 2 and 1 grade 6 son and daughter are hopelessly crying out for their mom's survival and the mother's desperate wish that the children can continue their school...
How many families are in this situation and others similar? should I just use my increased salary that i already have another plan to use it for supporting the children to school? is that just a drop of fresh water in the salty ocean?
Should I become a guardian for them or how can i assure that the small amount will give them a better life but not a dependent one?
They are far from me. How can i come visit and make sure that everything is alright? So many questions in mind before making up the decision to call the mother. she would cry again.
I wonder how many people will take an action after reading the article and .... well so confused now. need some sharing please
Just heard a sad piece on the Beeb. A journalist spent time among various poor immigrant groups, and chronicled the experience in his book. He claims that work for these folks somehow gets racially segregated over time. So Eastern Europeans become members of the trades, some starting businesses and doing very well, while Africans and others of color clean the public areas on the underground. Or, white immigrants get cushy nanny type work, while the darker sorts sweep streets. He claims there are many other examples, and that the pay trends in unfair directions that most of us can guess. Of course, being the BBC, one expects PC bias in all they do nowadays (there was a time when this wasn't so), so who knows how valid is this reportage and/or choice of writer guest. CS bloggers around the world, is your experience of the jobs immigrants get in your cities supportive of such racial differences? Is there a new more universal apartheid developing right under our noses? Dooseroo.
YOU CANNOT,,,,
"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's Initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what They could and should do for themselves."

Letting the government take care of him had better take a much closer look at the American Indian."
