I was very happy to find out, this morning, that a second collection was being taken up for Japan's recovery. I still feel that being a Faith that is supposed to 'be there' for the less fortunate and ones suffering disaster, that it should have happened last Sunday with a follow up collection this Sunday.
I was interested to hear that Catholic Relief Services is one of the biggest services in the world and has only a one percent deduction from each dollar donated for their administrative costs. Red Cross takes nine percent. Since we weren't adequately prepared to put in a check (we only had five bucks in cash which did go in!), we are going to check on-line about donating directly to Catholic Relief Services.
Amazing story, today, about a grandmother and her two grandsons being pulling from the rubble in Japan after nine days! There IS light in darkness if we look for it.
