How you can help
Helping is much easier than you might imagine.
One of the best ways is to simply call your representatives and politely let
them know that certain issues are becoming increasingly more important to
you.
Ask them politely if they might focus more of their time on these pressing
issues.
Your representatives DO want to know what you want. If you are considerate,
reasonable,
respectful and assured, they WILL listen.
You can say, "The issue of child abuse, hunger, and global abandonment is
becoming increasingly more important to me. As your constituent, I would like
to ask for you to devote more time to this. Will you consider my
request?" Wait for their answer. Let them make a commitment to you.
Your opinion DOES matter. Believe it or not, very few people contact their
officials. When they do, their comments are noted and reviewed. Each friendly
conversation you can have with a staff member of your representative
will have an effect.
It is their job to listen to you. And, yes, they hear. You can find your
legislators HERE.

2. Meat eaters: purchase humanely
raised, naturally raised meat. Better for you, better for the animals. Allowing animals to live a
good life, and then killing them quickly and painlessly is
the only option worth considering. Meat from such animals is more nutritious
and much better tasting and without chemicals and hormones. More
likely, such meat comes from animals that were fed natural and organic
feed.
|
3. Avoid
genetically modified (GMO) fruits, vegetables, foods.
Buy
organic, whenever possible, even though it may be shipped a long
distance. Organic growers need support. Their efforts need to
be rewarded. Large growers need encouragement to switch to organic
growing methods.

POVERTY

kind to the gentle homeless. If you were to walk
in their shoes, you might have a great understanding of why they are
where they are. Be generous. And, be careful. If you
are tricked, forgive. |

HEALTH
|
| 1. Look
into natural and alternative healing methods.
There are great successes with these natural processes. |
| |
WATER AND FOOD
|
1. Consider
contributing to Ryan's Well.
Ryan was 6 years old when he discovered children were dying of thirst. He
worked for 4 months to save enough money to buy a well in Africa.
Children are still dying of thirst. Within the last 5 minutes, another small child
was lost. It is a terrible death... filled with
suffering. Water is one of the Earth's most precious
resources. The need is more pressing than ever.
|
2. Read about Genetically Modified Fruits, Vegetables, other
Crops that can Devastate Health
http://www.mercola.com/2003/jul/2/gm_crops.htm
|
3. Try to incorporate more organic
produce in your diet. Natural foods have more delicious and complex flavors.
The
most expensive and elegant restaurants serve organic foods for the
superior quality and taste. Make an effort to find a natural food
store in your location.

Helping, Protecting and Serving Those Who Are the
Most Innocent Among Us
About Us - Who are We?
We are a dedicated group of individuals who want, above much else, to be
of
service to those who are most innocent - children and animals. We
also support
others in need as well; the gentle homeless, those who are in despair,
those in need
of food,water, shelter, warmth, hope, peace and a means to find
security, happiness
and a life of giving and sharing.
Funding.
We wish to fund all as much as possible with our own pockets, so that
100% of donations
are used directly for those in need. We are homebased in San Diego
County,
CA., USA.
If you wish to make a donation, please click here.
If you wish to help with your
time, your work, your prayers, please email us
and we will respond right away.
Actions:
Through polite and informative phone calls, information pages,
email messages,
helping people find a way to help and contribute. We believe that giving
and receiving
work in concert. Those who receive, are blessed by those who give
to them.
Those who give,
are blessed, by the mere act of giving. For those who give, their
cup will runneth over.
"It is through giving,
that one finds, true living."
Teaching
Teaching children to receive, but also, equally importantly,
teaching children to give,
is a gift of a lifetime. Living creatures, both human and animal,
find their greatest
joy in the acts of loving, sharing, giving.
With the love of others around them, a child's heart will grow and swell
so that they
will overflow with good and loving things. These good and
loving things will in
turn, flow to other children around them. And so it goes. Join
us. Help the children.
Cherish and protect every living creature.
Bless you!
