It's ironic that people who might applaud Mother Teresa would not welcome her kind of generosity in their own country. I'm guessing that's because charity is easier to support in the abstract, when you don't have to get your own hands dirty, or see the people who benefit from it on your own doorstep.<br /><br />There's a franchise here in the U.K. called 'Pret a Manger'. They serve sandwiches which are made fresh daily; any that are not eaten are immediately given to the homeless. Restaurants throw out so much perfectly good food. It's a shame they can't work out a way to get that food to the homeless safely and legally.Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884499308648209099.post-71452195361044549642011-06-20T08:01:51.453-04:002011-06-20T08:01:51.453-04:00Jen - Coming soon to a city near you, the all new ...Jen - Coming soon to a city near you, the all new "Homeless Zoo" including war vets....<br />Would not surprise me<br />Sausage...Sausagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14563985186537460358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884499308648209099.post-24291227799292094952011-06-19T20:30:15.600-04:002011-06-19T20:30:15.600-04:00I feel very humble in my comfortable home with my ...I feel very humble in my comfortable home with my comfortable family and comfortable job.
