A wonderful tribute to those who lend their hearts and hands to aid the victims of war and disease. They deserve to be honored for their timeless efforts and countless hours of devotion to the care of those less fortunate. As a nurse, I thank you for this, Saadat! Linda :)

It is sad that in a world of such abundance we even have a need for such things. Namaste, Shirley
