Relief India Trust Review a hope to Vulnerable Class
I am impressed by the Relief India Trust, as they have an innovative approach to reaching out to vulnerable sections. Today, in this article, I am going to write about the Relief India Trust Review to tell you about the commendable work they have done in the field for children and the environment. They always work tirelessly for the poor section to ensure happier and healthier childhoods for them. Always address the needs of children’s health care, nutrition, education, and protection from child labour. Read More

One thing I think that is so insidious about the Pro-Israel narrative is that they don't even want you donating to the Palestinian cause to provide things like food or medical care for children. There is a concerted hasbara campaign to associate any NGO that provides any aid to palestinians with terrorism.
For example, if you attempt to raise money for the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund, a charity rated 4 stars by Charity Navigator, you may be linked to a page on a website called NGO Monitor. At first glance, this appears to be a neutral charity rating website similar to Charity Navigator. It's not.
Try searching any charity with no connection to the Israel-Palestine conflict on NGO Monitor, and you'll get no result.
Do a little digging, and you'll find out that NGO Monitor was founded by Gerald Steinberg, a Likud party member and former Israeli Security Council consultant. It is essentially a right-wing Israeli front posing as a legitimate charity watchdog while spreading misinformation.
Or consider this racist parody song from Israel's version of SNL. It depicts a hjiab donning woman crying and begging for money in front of an image of shelled out buildings presumably in Gaza. It then cuts away to reveal it is all a set, and her crying is acting, alluding to the Pallywood conspiracy theory. This is followed by caricatures of Hamas members swimming in riches in a luxurious hotel room in Qatar chanting "dollar bills, dollar bills" as donations pile up. The implication is clear; if you give money to Palestine, you are giving money to Hamas. The fact that this video is in English tells you who the intended audience is. It was posted on instagram by Noa Tishby, a former Israeli spokesperson.
This all reflects the true cruelty of the Israeli regime. They don't just want to harm the Palestinians; they don't want you to help them.

speaking of Haiti,
uuuhhh yall know that the situation is really, really bad there, right? like “the government is holed up in a handful of buildings because gangs control the capital and the country is about to be a failed state” bad. it’s “the Haitian government asked for other countries to literally invade it and restore order” bad. uuuhhhh here are some charities you can donate to.
Doctors Without Borders: you know who these people are and I say that with immense affection in my heart.
Hope for Haiti (!!!!!!) okay Charity Navigator gives these guys a full 100% what the fuck. I knew they were good but holy fuck they’ve been one of the top ten since 2010. they focus on supporting education, healthcare especially for women, clean water, and providing Haitians with grants and loans.
Haitian Health Foundation focuses on, uh, health. they have clinics and also make home visits for patients unable to travel, and they provide emergency transport and mobile health clinics as well. they do vaccinations, food, dental care and mental health care. if you want to focus on the healthcare side of things (other than DWB), these guys are great.
Fonkoze another Haitian-focused charity group, this one provides Haitian women with education, health services, and other resources to help them escape poverty. very very neat, also a great score on charity navigator.
Save the Children in Haiti: same organization that is very busy in Ukraine right now, it’s a charity that focuses on children. exactly what it says. they are wonderful though and I do love them.
UNICEF - Haiti: UNICEF doing what UNICEF does.

The Flight of Spirits…..
Dear Friends Namaste !
Meet with Tricha……!!
My name is Tricha (Name Changed), I live in a small village & I am 20 years old. In the second wave of corona, my family faced so many problems. I have a younger brother in my family. I had a desire to do a beauty parlor course from the very beginning as it will keep me at my home and I would be able to look after my family, but it could not be done…

Hey All,
I've been away for some time, as we've been working really hard on something quite exciting:
let me present to you the world's first ever global ocean drainage basin map that shows all permanent and temporary water flows on the planet.
This is quite big news, as far as I know this has never been done before. There are hundreds of hours of work in it (with the data + manual work as well) and it's quite a relief that they are all finished now.
But what is an ocean drainage basin map, I hear most of you asking? A couple of years ago I tried to find a map that shows which ocean does each of the world's rivers end up in. I was a bit surprised to see there is no map like that, so I just decided I'll make it myself - as usual :) Well, after realizing all the technical difficulties, I wasn't so surprised any more that it didn't exist. So yeah, it was quite a challenge but I am very happy with the result.
In addition to the global map I've created a set of 43 maps for different countries, states and continents, four versions for each: maps with white and black background, and a version for both with coloured oceans (aka polygons). Here's the global map with polygons:
I know from experience that maps can be great conversation starters, and I aim to make maps that are visually striking and can effectively deliver a message. With these ocean drainage basin maps the most important part was to make them easily understandable, so after you have seen one, the others all become effortless to interpret as well. Let me know how I did, I really appreciate any and all kinds of feedback.
Here are a few more from the set, I hope you too learn something new from them. I certainly did, and I am a geographer.
The greatest surprise with Europe is that its biggest river is all grey, as the Volga flows into the Caspian sea, therefore its basin counts as endorheic.
An endorheic basin is one which never reaches the ocean, mostly because it dries out in desert areas or ends up in lakes with no outflow. The biggest endorheic basin is the Caspian’s, but the area of the Great Basin in the US is also a good example of endorheic basins.
I love how the green of the Atlantic Ocean tangles together in the middle.
No, the dividing line is not at Cape Town, unfortunately.
I know these two colours weren’t the best choice for colourblind people and I sincerely apologize for that. I’ve been planning to make colourblind-friendly versions of my maps for ages now – still not sure when I get there, but I want you to know that it’s just moved up on my todo-list. A lot further up.
Minnesota is quite crazy with all that blue, right? Some other US states that are equally mind-blowing: North Dakota, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming. You can check them all out here.
Yes, most of the Peruvian waters drain into the Atlantic Ocean. Here are the maps of Peru, if you want to take a closer look.
Asia is amazingly colourful with lots of endorheic basins in the middle areas: deserts, the Himalayas and the Caspian sea are to blame. Also note how the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra are divided.
I mentioned earlier that I also made white versions of all maps. Here’s Australia with its vast deserts. If you're wondering about the weird lines in the middle: that’s the Simpson desert with its famous parallel sand dunes.
North America with white background and colourful oceans looks pretty neat, I think.
Finally, I made the drainage basin maps of the individual oceans: The Atlantic, the Arctic, the Indian and the Pacific. The Arctic is my favourite one.
I really hope you like my new maps, and that they will become as popular as my river basin maps. Those have already helped dozens of environmental NGOs to illustrate their important messages all around the world. It would be nice if these maps too could find their purpose.

📸 Owing to provisions scarcity at my refuge, and under an agreement with 'One Happy Family', I reluctantly began bi-weekly trips to their facility for meals every Tuesdays and Thursdays since October 06th, 2023. Nevertheless, they unreasonably terminated our agreement on October 31st, 2023, leaving me without food.
Despite limited time and resources, preventing recording and publishing every visit, one event stood out. On Thursday, October 24th, 2023, after procuring two servings and notifying a guard about my plea to the pertinent entities, I noticed a female MSF employee near the entrance on my way back to my shelter.
In light of countless ignored emails, I tried to obtain the 'MSF' director's contact details from the female employee present. Nevertheless, a guard unjustifiably interrupted our brief discussion, leading to an escalating situation thereafter.

The Impact of NGOs on Local Communities
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) play a pivotal role in shaping the lives of individuals and communities worldwide. With a mission to bring positive change and address social issues, NGOs often focus on improving education, healthcare, livelihoods, and environmental conservation. In this blog post, we will explore the profound impact of NGOs on local communities, shedding light on their transformative work and the lasting benefits they bring to people's lives.
Empowering Education and Skill Development
One of the fundamental areas where NGOs leave a significant impact is education. NGOs often establish schools, educational centers, and vocational training institutes in underserved communities, providing access to quality education and skill development opportunities. Through these initiatives, they empower individuals with knowledge and skills, opening doors to better job prospects and breaking the cycle of poverty.
Improving Healthcare Access
NGOs also play a crucial role in improving healthcare access in remote and marginalized communities. They set up medical camps, clinics, and health awareness programs, ensuring that essential healthcare services reach those who most need them. NGOs reduce preventable diseases and improve overall community well-being by addressing health issues at the grassroots level.
Strengthening Livelihoods and Economic Growth
NGOs enable sustainable economic growth in local communities by initiating various livelihood programs. They offer training in agriculture, small-scale business management, and entrepreneurship, empowering individuals to generate income and support their families. Such efforts lead to a reduction in unemployment and contribute to the growth of local economies.
Fostering Women Empowerment and Gender Equality
NGOs actively promote women's rights and gender equality. They create safe spaces for women to participate in decision-making and advocate for gender-sensitive policies. NGOs empower women to become self-reliant through education, skill-building, and micro-financing programs, fostering gender equity and promoting social progress.
Environmental Conservation and Sustainability
In the face of environmental challenges, NGOs champion the cause of conservation and sustainability. From planting trees to promoting eco-friendly practices, they engage local communities in preserving their natural resources. This approach helps protect the environment and ensures communities can access resources for future generations.
Disaster Relief and Humanitarian Aid
NGOs are vital in disaster relief efforts, responding promptly to natural calamities and humanitarian crises. Their swift action immediately assists affected communities, including food, clean water, shelter, and medical aid. NGOs also participate in long-term rebuilding efforts, helping communities recover and become more resilient.
Advocacy and Policy Change
NGOs advocate for social and political change to address local communities' systemic issues. They influence policies, conduct research, and engage with policymakers to ensure that the concerns of the marginalized are heard and acted upon. NGOs contribute to creating more inclusive and just societies through their advocacy efforts.
Promoting Human Rights and Social Justice
NGOs are at the forefront of defending human rights and social justice. They provide legal aid, counseling, and support to abuse, discrimination, and exploitation victims. Their tireless efforts help create awareness about human rights violations and drive societal changes to protect the rights of the vulnerable.
Conclusion
NGOs have a profound and lasting impact on local communities, driving positive change across various spheres of life. Through their tireless efforts in education, healthcare, livelihoods, women empowerment, environmental conservation, disaster relief, advocacy, and human rights, NGOs uplift the lives of millions. Their work embodies the true essence of compassion, empathy, and solidarity, leaving a lasting legacy of hope and progress. As individuals, let us support these organizations in their endeavors, for together, we can create a brighter and more equitable future for all.

Why was the U.S. government quietly investigating IRFF and Massimo Trombin?
The International Relief Friendship Foundation (IRFF) was a Moonie-associated relief-oriented NGO. Massimo Trombin was European IRFF's sub-director and Italy IRFF’s director in 1998, often working with and alongside another Moonie NGO, Religious Youth Service (RYS), spending much of his time planning and working at 4 West 43rd St.
Massimo is an Italian national who, along with many other WANGO/IRFF/RYS leaders, joined the Hyun Jin / Preston schism, working now with the Global Peace Foundation.

Thinking you can "help" by donating to NGOs as the end all be all is particularly insulting because:
1) my family, and many Palestinian diaspora families, have been donating to Palestinian charities for years and look at where we are at now (ie, the systematic violence has not been addressed AND we already have been consistently donating to make a difference, contrary to what people on here claim we aren't doing)
2) reframing this as a humanitarian issue rather than a systematic violence where a people are occupied by a colonial force
By all means, donate to charities I'm not going to say they're not necessary. They absolutely are. I donate to Palestinian Children's Relief Fund myself. It's a cause near and dear to my heart. However, monetary support and a hands off approach only goes so far and does not address systematic issues that communities face. If all we do is donate, we succumb to an endless spiral of reactive responses to violence rather than preventative.
NGOs are great but to say "just donate" and then ignore the issue completely is incredibly harmful. Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank are PLEADING for you to take action, get involved, spread information. So find your niche and please help! Make art! Attend protests! Hell, even reblogging posts with the intent to educate is useful.
Remember, our goal is short term AND long term liberation! So keep Palestine on your mind! Keep Tigray on your mind! Congo! Kashmir! We need to remember that the world we live in is not ok but it could be BETTER!!!
