over ppl abroad. or is this just a grudge against them without any real reasoning. I wouldn't have bothered to write but I feel that many of us are just plain ignorant of the fact that thr r lots of thing which ppl in US do for our country. As a student here in US, i am a part of an organization called AID (Association for India's Development), every year we raise close to $20K and use that money to fund various projects done by several NGO's back in the country. Our's is a primarily Student chapter but there are over 40 chapters of AID in USA and doing thr part towards serving the country. And AID is just one organization, thrs ASHA and thr r several others. I am not sure if u know abt contribution and awareness that these organizations raised during Tsunami. For more information u can go and check the website www.aidindia.org I agree that we dont really do the grassroot work, but let me tell even if we were in India we wldnt have been able to do so, cos not only it requires a lot of commitment but also a lot of specialized training and all that requires time which sadly not all have (ask urself this ques, if u have time and motivation and more importantly for how long u can sustain that). I feel that rather than pointing fingers we better do our part in best possible manner.
