Humanitarian Aide


When major disasters happen our hearts reach out.  Nurses by nature want to help. Thousands of our profession have assisted - as we typically have in the past.
There are many humanitarian groups around the globe such as the red cross.  Another group that is among the first responders is the LDS Church.LDS medical team arrives in Haiti. Response Volunteers.This week a larger medical team of 125 men and women, doctors, nurses, and rescue workers left to add their efforts after arranging to be off work for 21 days.
Many want to assist other than donating money,  but cannot travel to distances beyond our horizon.  There are millions of homeless children in our own nation. Many other worthy humanitarian projects are available in local neighborhoods such as Habitat for Humanity and Salvation Army. I encourage you to open your eyes to see, open your ears to hear, open your heart to feel, and your hands to give. Be the answer to someone's prayer.
