Road Map for Aid


Not feeling too empowered today. Sad sad sad. Need to figure out a mental road map to solve the humanitarian crisis in Syria, no way around it. We have so many amazing folks who want to help and so many resources. There is a key and we need to find it and unlock that door that will ensure help is getting around to everyone and nobody is left hungry.

Can't get over that people are starving. Don't even want to think about my own family there going hungry. It is too surreal. All of us working on the humanitarian aspect need to do a much better and more aggressive job, think outside of the box and overcome obstacles we never knew existed - as long as we get aid out in as quick a manner as possible.

We are not fighting this revolution with weapons nor even with posters of free speech. We are defying suppression, hate and power-plays by refusing to bow down, by going above and beyond our inner instincts of shyness, fear, apprehension, all for the sake of feeding a few people or getting them dressed so they can exist with some dignity, possibly even offering them an option to move into safe shelter.

There is a road map, I know there is. We'll find it. And in the meantime we'll do one small project at a time and God forgive us if we ignore anyone asking for help or not asking but being in need. One thing is for sure, we are the lesser ones and our efforts can never match those of people who live in fear, hunger, oppression, or deprivation.
