Letter to a Native Christian Brother regarding Charity for an African Brother

Dear Brother,

We get thousands of requests for funds and for help to receive a "Free" Education.  My response is always the same.  You do not have to pay tuition to learn using the University's Resources.  http://www.education-1.net/links.htm

You do not have to attend Seminary to do good in your Community.  You do not need money to preach the Gospels.  I will shake an open hand and provide free advice on how a person may use their talent to support themselves. 

It occurs to me that if someone has e-mail capacity they should be able to make a living teaching others to use a computer.  If they speak English well enough to request financial aid, they can tutor others for a fee.  If they use a word processor to write an article they can teach in a private or public school.

Those without money still have abundant resources.  Individuals can work to support themselves.  They can create jobs where no jobs exist.  They can organize their Communities to do the things that need to be done for the benefit of all.  Many African Communities need wells for clean water.  Many need sanitation systems.  Some need systems for irrigation.  Infrastructure can be provided by the Government but it can also be provided by the Community to meet the needs of all.

Communities without currency, that is provided by the Government, must adapt to meet their own needs without the National Currency.  Communities can provide for sanitary waste disposal instead of casting their garbage into the streets.  Communities can make traditional clothing instead of waiting on shipments of clothing from America which are bartered for food and other necessary items.  Traditional foods can come from the efforts of the Community instead of depending on canned foods and Western soft drinks.

The young can be educated and instructed in the ways of the Culture by the elders in a Community instead of depending on Television to entertain and educate the children.

Individuals must accept responsibility for their own condition where they have the means to improve their conditions.  It is not Charity to enable an attitude of entitlement.

If someone needs ten dollars, I would prefer to send them a shovel, a hammer or a fishing pole.

America provides Food for Peace.  We send millions of metric tons of food, seed, trees, livestock and grain to countries each year.  Much of it gets sent to the military of the receiving country.  Something has to change if we expect to effect "Real Change" to improve the Human Condition.

Individual and Community Responsibility for the conditions in the Community is a good place to begin.  Communities can share responsibilities for child care and education.  Freed parents can work in gardens and on farms to grow food and to raise livestock.  Some can work on infrastructure.  Where funds are limited, natural resources can be used.  "No electricity" can be solved by turning human and animal waste into methane gas which can be used for cooking, heating, cooling, refrigeration, electricity etc.  The by product of the process is a rich fertilizer that may be used on gardens and on farms.

People can plant trees for fuel, shelter, wind breaks and for fruit.  People can enrich soil with compost and proper management techniques.

The means exist to solve most of the problems faced in the world today.

Where there is disease from insects such as flies and mosquitoes, people can swat flies and mosquitoes on a quota system each day until the insects are all gone.  Chairman Mao told the Chinese that it was their Civic Duty to kill flies.  Each person in China was expected to kill five flies each day and to turn the bodies over to the block captain for confirmation.  The house fly was irradiated in China.  Ponds and standing water can be drained or fish and ducks can be used to control mosquito larva from becoming adults.  People can eat the fish and ducks.  People can eat the eggs.  China has been very successful in using efficient pond ecosystems.

You get the idea.  The next time Daniel writes to you, send him to me.

I realize that there are many in the world that need help.  I am proposing that we make that help the kind of help that will build and sustain Communities instead of turning them into dependents who will always need help.

These ideas are submitted because I felt moved, as a Theologian, to speak on behalf of Peace and to offer alternatives to this very difficult situation.  It is my Hope that the ideas will be useful to the Palestinians and to the Israelis.
