		<description>I read the dude from World Vision&#039;s book, &quot;The Hole In Our Gospel&quot;, not so long ago - forgive me for not remembering his name - anyway he said that there is something in the human mind that seems to equate the story of a single person involved in tragedy to move the human heart to help - it seems more personal when someone has a name etc. yet when it climbs to hundreds or thousands involved in a crisis it becomes a statistic in peoples heads and overwhelms people. They feel that the problem is too huge therefore they feel inadequate to do anything. I was really struck by that and have been thinking about it off and on ever since I read it.
Thank you for not being overwhelmed Helen - it helps me believe I could make a difference as well.</description>
