Do not consider questionable organizations like the Red Cross, or Unicef. They've gotten 'too big' and commercial lately, not to mention politcal as well. doctors without borders functions on more unbiased grassroot levels.<br /><br />Peace.Truth Seekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16757686170869838651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5186499.post-1105031600498018462005-01-06T20:13:00.000+03:002005-01-06T20:13:00.000+03:00Stingy o nos..
