Agencies That You Can Help, As They Help Others

I have looked at various agencies that are working full time to help those refugees in need  around the world. There are many good charities that are intent on helping where ever they are needed. What is needed from us are donations. These can be in the ways of money, goods and services. Some ask that you just let your government know that you want  it’s help. A call for action. We cannot save everyone, but the agencies that are listed here are trying to ease some of the suffering of the innocent people who were caught in the cross fires of civil war, or floods and famine in their country. Please go to Interaction.org. and see all the agencies that are doing what they can and what you can do to help in any possible way. Help save a life. I have listed a few here. You can see more here.
