It seems so trivial when I'm talking about saving $xxxx and spending $xxxx when people die of hunger all over the world. Although I understand that we cannot remedy all injustices in an instance, there are somethings we can do to make it better. Right?
My question is, what is the best relief agency out there? I am currently member of "Food for the Hungry" (www.fh.org), but are there better organizations to donate to? Why did I choose this organization? It seemed like a reputable organization, it seemed to specifically target hunger, their donation options are automated and flexible and you can specify where your money goes.
Well...I didn't do much, but I have a recurring donation of $10/mo. I might increase that after my wedding finances are settled. The $10/mo. is about half the interest I make on my saving accounts so I thought it was a good place to start.
What I also wanted to know, are there any secular non-governmental agencies out there that do relief work? If you know one, please let me know. Thx.
