Volunteering ..... Is it worth the effort ???

Everywhere in this world where there is human around .. there's bound to be trouble .... in form of disaster, war ...

Everytime these mishaps happened ... there will be a group of people unselfishly gave up their comfortable life, time with loved ones and volunteered their services to those in need ....

2005 had ended but the unfortunate events still stuck in our mind .....

Bali bombing, tsunamis, Hurricane Katrina....

In these incidents , many aids in form of financial , medical , food came pouring in .... people seen to be more interested in sudden disaster than those which had been existed for decades...

In another part of the world , in Africa which is historican called the Old World.... There are many unrest which are still happening today ....

In Kenya, Sudan , Ethopia , Congo ... civil wars had caused misfortuante for many decades .... it is such an irony that the UN (symbol : Olive branches symbolize peace. The world map depicts the area of concern to the United Nations in achieving its main purpose, peace and security. ) which is set up after the World War II never step in to help instead it is the aid volunteers who sent their ' troops ' in ...

Aid volunteers are being killed (http://www.irinnews.org/report.asp?ReportID=46935) while trying to help ....

If the UN and the american cared so much about humanitarian .. why don't they send any troop into sudan, kenya, Congo, Ethopia, Nepal, North Korea... and the best of all , send the B2 bombers to the Golden Triangle to destroy all the poppy plants ( used to make opium and heroin)...

In South australia... the incident of last year Enyre Peninsula bush fire has not been rest... The volunteers of Country Fire Service (CFS) are beening sued for not doing a good job (inadquent equipments etc) ....

The Howard government and Mike Rann state government rather allowed $$ to be spent on the lawsuit against the volunteers than spending them on rebuilding and allocating to the victims of the bushfire....

The Howard government , Rann state government and Australian red cross were not heavily involved till everytime is over....
