Social Issues-Do Not be Daunted by the enormity..neither are you free to abandon it...

This week there was a horrendous earthquake in Haiti (look up info before you write, if you don't know anything about it).

People from all over the world are joining together to send help. 1/3 the population may need assistance, over 1/2 have been affected persoanlly. Imagine that happening in this country. People do not have access to medical help, food, water and many have lost or been separated from family.

What is the world's responsibilty? What is our responsibilty? What would you like to do? Look at the quote below, is it true? Why?

"Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it." The Talmud

  1. i think that everyone should step up and help beacause they are obviously in need of some major help...its gona take at least 15 months to build safe places for some of these people.
    our responsibility should be to get people to help..and have somesort of part in helping..- Erica
