What then should we do?
Mostly I post pictures of thrift on the thrift store's FB page.
Every few weeks, I post something about the Society of SVDP's mission--to be guided by Gospel values-- specifically the verse where Jesus says,
This morning I posted this illustration of the gospel verse, "The Corporal Works of Mercy", by Meinrad Craighead for The Catholic Worker newspaper, founded by Dorothy Day in the 1930s.

"Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."Sometimes this verse is translated, "Whatever you did TO the least of these...", which has a different spin than "for the least".

Funny sometimes how thoughts and actions separate people take coincide. This morning I was doing research about the children in these camps, thinking about how I could make my life benefit others with the time I have left, and you post an answer.
(I received the Singer dressmaking booklet last week - Tuesday, to be precise; thank you. I am glad to have it for there are a number of techniques I didn't know how to do, despite the years I've been sewing! Maybe it will help me use those skills to serve the children in some way.)
A few other worthy organizations: Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley, The Florence Project, Kids in Need of Defense, The Texas Civil Rights Project, and The Young Center. I made a donation to the Young Center last year and will be making another one tonight. Your post was a helpful reminder to put some money where my mind is.
