========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm ]======== From: Silverspotstudio AT aol.com Doug, Thanks for reminding us all that more than sympathy is needed during this terrible crisis. Imagine how much it would help if every Orchidian contributed just $5 - that would come to about $26,000! Sorry if I sound like a charity ad, but this really is a case in which individual action can achieve a much greater good. A very helpful list of links to many different charities is available at cnn.com under the heading "How to Help." Of these, Oxfam America is a well-established and reputable charity that seeks permanent solutions to aid developing countries and areas in crisis. Oxfam may not yet be familiar to many Americans, but is as well known as UNICEF or the Salvation Army in Europe and the U.K. It is also one of the few entirely secular charities, an important consideration when aid is needed in areas of religious diversity. Oxfam's websites are www.oxfam.org and www.oxfamamerica.org. Usual disclaimers: I don't work for or otherwise represent Oxfam, I just appreciate their intelligent, level-headed, and workable approach to aiding people in need. Jessee Smith www.silverspotstudio.com ..................................................... From: "Gerald" <gemz AT ican.net> As we enter a new year of 2005, we must also think of those poor souls who have 'left us' so fast and tragically! Many countries are declining in doing the firework displays. We should take a minute in our subdued festivities and think of all the thousands of children who have perished. I am going to make a blessing over our Friday night, Sabbath service at Sundown and also at midnight..E.S.T.and ask the Almighty to hold close the spirits of those who have perished....;>( I ask you to do the very same, please!...Gerry Lewy, a.k.a. " Gerry, the Cyber-Setter! " .....................................................
