jeffl7 0 Posted December 14, 2010 Thanks for giving me a preview. The need in the world is great and seems to be getting greater. Seeing the world's problems en masse feels overwhelming, and it's certainly easier to shove it to the back of your mind and go about one's day. However, seeing all these faces is a reminder that whatever kindness you bestow, you bestow on a real live person. And it makes a difference to the recipient, even if only for a moment. And it makes a difference to the giver as well. A lovely calendar. Wishing you lots of peace. Link to comment

pnital 36 Posted December 14, 2010 Thanks for your thoughtful comment. Yes, the needs are huge as well as the problems.The calendar, attached to the annual report , (with my photos inside as well ),are sent to many companies and individuals that are helping Mesila with donation, volunteering work of many kinds etc. I'm glad to help them with volunteering/documenting their activities for those people with my photography, to enhance awareness.With my Soroptimist International women org. we are doing a lot more to help.My best wishes to you and your entire family,for a good coming new year.

Donna Stavis 0 Posted December 16, 2010 Imagine becoming a face on a calendar of refugees, then growing up, looking back at the experience and how it shaped one's life and the lives of others -- people who help, people who walk away, yours. These snapshots of history -- make a difference. You've caught a medley of emotions -- greed for the boy eating a world of sugar, a mother's love and so much in between, each emotion penetrating. You've done a lovely job, and let's hope this calendar helps people stretch out their hands to help. Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted December 17, 2010 Thanks for your nice comment. I do hope that companies and especially individuals will stretch a hand to help( and I know they do).It is not an easy situation for the refugees and others, and not an easy situation for our country, but they are human being with a lot of personal hardships .I know what closed gates are meaning ( history) and I do my drop to help. I wish you a good coming new year. Link to comment
