: Watch and see how we hit on every major obstacle that will EVER stand in our way as we plow through this.
: What name? is it just for children? Is it just for medical emrgencies, or rather supplementals?
>>>>>>>>>> Ok, how about the "Humanitarian Fund for ___________________"?
>>>>>>>>>> It will be for "medical assistance"
>>>>>>>>>> If it grows, that goal can be modified later to include other things.
: Are we going to be Chaldean...Assyrian...Jacobite...Catholic....Syriac...Maronite... Yo Yos...Church of the East...the West? How about using the first initial from each ? if we leave out one...we'll be accused of whatever...if we include them all...it will start an argument about taking Baatheys.
: Should it be just a "Fund"? What?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> For starters, just a fund. Let the money sit there until we can put it to good use. Find someone in need who needs something small, and help them. David... Tiglath... please email me.
: How about the issue of helping someone who is NOT one of "us"? Will Maronites help a Chaldean kid? Will an Assyrian help an "Arabized" Syriac...whose liturgy is in Arabic ("Save" the world my ASS!).
: ..........?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> It will not be restricted to one of "us", but chances our the majority of people we help will be "our own"... whatever that means.
That's just my 2 cents.
