A Different Type of Victim

It is hard enough to try to get the average citizen interested in helping citizens of other countries living in poverty or worse, but the struggle takes on an entirely new meaning when something along the lines of what the article Losing Faith in Charity: Is There Any Hope For NGO's talks about. In the region of Chad, where the tragedy struck, even major organizations such as UNICEF, and the Red Cross were unable to prevent such an event from taking place. Although this is a region that is plagued with much worse, the events that took place this week that left these children used and abandoned is nothing to be made light of and deserves our careful consideration as we consder what kind of world we live in where this is not the worse possible situation for a child.
