@ SMH1,

If you’re so bothered about it then start a local charity that will assist these needy Bermudian families. Maybe you are active in one now, if so have them step up their fund raising or other seek other means of support as many Bermudians and other residents are incredibly generous and happy to give in whichever way they can so its a win win right?.

Dear SMH1,

You are right; Bermudians are incredibly generous. Bermuda also ranks as one of the wealthiest places per head of capita. Nepal ranks as one of the poorest. Not only can we afford to look after those Bermudians amongst us that are food insecure we can show our altruistic spirit internationally too. As a Board Director of The Eliza DoLittle Society I am very grateful to KatKids for their support of Bermuda’s hungry. Nobody should be going hungry SMH1, we grow enough food on this planet for everyone. What we need is a little more respect for all that we do have. Eat up – don’t just throw away.

KATKiDS is a registered Bermuda charity whose mission is to volunteer our time, expertise and passion to raise money for projects supporting children in need of food, shelter, healthcare or education in Nepal, Southern Africa AND Bermuda. As members of the Bermuda community KATKids recognizes that children are in need on the island and donates to The Eliza Dolittle Society to feed Bermuda’s hungry, many of whom are children.

Don’t get me wrong I don’t have a problem with raising money for Nepal, but how about the Bermudians that are suffering in Our island the kids who don’t have anything to eat here, Kids who just barely having lunch to take to school. ALSO mothers who have to sacrifice to either pay nursey fees or pay for their medication robbing Peter to pay Paul, doing things just to keep a roof over their child’s or children’s head leaving the older sibling at home to care for their siblings while the mother goes to work just getting enough money to get by. WE AS BERMUDIANS ARE ALWAYS GIVING BUT CHARITY STARTS AT HOME .
