Mercy Partners' website is making amazing progress, but is still in draft form.  Look forward to learning more about compassion, in particular!  Consider this teaser written by our Founder, Anne Frana: "Compassion is a misunderstood word today. It seems that our culture defines compassion as doing good for those less fortunate, who are victims of fire, flood, earthquake, landslide, tsunami or some other uncontrollable event of nature. I am sure all this is involved with helping in cataclysmic need. But compassion is not always about big events, it is more personal than that."

That's what Mercy Partners will be all about -- creating a personal relationship that benefits BOTH sides.  There is so much we "overprivileged" folks can learn from the incredibly resourceful and smart folks who just don't have the resources to use their God-given strengths. The inequality in our world hurts us all.  And if you don't believe me, check out The Spirit Level: Why Greater Equality Makes Societies Stronger.  There are even equations there, and math doesn't lie :)
