Dear God . . . Why do so many innocent people die in the world?
Your sweet compassion is so evident my little friend. Innocent people die when we adults refuse to do something about it! And the innocent are too often children! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. Poverty isn't just a lack of money. It's a lack of jobs, adequate health education to say nothing of poor nutrition and unstable governments. Poor families are forced to make choices between buying food and buying medicine. Getting food, adequate medical care and supplies must go hand in hand with information and training that helps the poor take care of their family in dignity and love. What can you do? Support organizations reaching out to the poor. Volunteer your time! Do what you can! This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion for those who cannot speak for themselves!
