Guest guest Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Elaine, we must see it out of the novelist, or celluloid images of a hero. In real life people who champion the cause of nature, care givers=who nurse people in any form be it physical or financial or emotional with no expectation of reward, name or part of any institution that does these works anyway. some tokenism is no use but full commitment to such things can be classified as one. the Jaipur Leg inventor in India a doc from Jaipur helped many land mines and accident victims, the world over, like wise the gates foundation is a good example after achieving a lot of wealth have put mack money to care giving projects without no tint of religion or self image/gain there is coordination of other organisations to it. say HIV /AIDS other celebrities too are doing it not full time. sports people from 3rd world despite poverty discrimination , odds have risen to show their fol some alternative to suffering. great writers, thinkers fromsuch places too have done their bit I am not sure if this is enough hope others add their bit.

She has asked for my assistance in this and I thought it would be interesting to get a multi-cultural view; especially from such esteemed members whom I respect in these forums. If there are any objections to this, I apologize and have no problem taking this off-list. Many thanks in advance!!! Namaste,elaine Jai Ma!! -- ********************************************** Elaine M Gardner egardner pspmomster Aum Shantih: *********************************************** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
