This is the danger I see, especially when potential donors are approached in

such a manner: "Help the starving" -- "Every minute x children die of

hunger" -- etc. If the emphasis is put only on bodily needs, even our own

devotees tend to get in such consciousness, and the whole endeavor becomes

increasingly mundane.
