Amidst all the talks of donor fatigue, what I saw in Italy myself has made me very heartened.
Last week I was buying coke in a store in Rome. A radio in the shop was blaring a pop song. After the song finished I heard the words of ‘Pakistan’ and ‘Emergency’ on the radio. Hearing these two words together of-course got my attention. The short speech was in Italian which I didn’t understand so I asked the shopkeeper what it was and in her limited English capacity she told me it was an ad for collecting donations for Flood victims in Pakistan.
I was indeed heartened.
Then some time later we were traveling in Rome metro when I saw this visual ad on train’s TV screen showing flood victims of Pakistan and asking for texting a number to do a 2 Euros donation. I noticed the frequency of this visual ad was every few minutes. I took out my camera and took the photo that is with this post.
I was heartened again.
I write this post only to say, ‘Thank You, Italy. We appreciate the help and the humanity.’
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.
THANK YOU ITALY.
GOD Only Help Those… Who intent to Help Themselves!
Thank you, Italy.
