Again I write in the shadow of a world gripped by the fear of what 'might' happen. Again the world stands still and watches as news of terrorism grips our TV screens. While there seems little we can do to stop the threat it poses, there is something we can do about terrorism’s causes.
The other items of news; the current campaign to make poverty history and recent moves to forgive the debts of poor nations are focusing on the real issue that is the most pressing cause of terrorism. The desperation that poverty causes breeds desperate people.
Daily the Western World trashes things that could change the lives of people in need. That is what brought Crossroads and Global Hand into existence, so that unwanted resources could be used where they are most needed.
It is not the whole answer, but it can make a difference, especially when it comes with the light of the MD. Most people recognise that our resources need to be shared they are just not sure how to do it.
