Has anyone put into play a Polish NGO relief/self-help co-op yet? Somewhat like Habitat For Humanity crossed with a food bank/seed bank/microloan financial group/tool library/vo-tech&essential skills community college Pay-it-Forward kind of organization?
They're thinking of calling t "Zapomoga"--"Grant" in Polish.Perhaps a PC feels sorry for a refugee family, gives them a spare shovel, saw, hammer&nails, and some extra food and clothes for their kids. Dad manages to fix up an bandoned house, make some ration chits by working as semiskilled labor, starts helping his neighbors,who get into the spirit and make something of a neighborhood. And the concept spreads until it evolves into an actual refugee-uplift outfit, people helping others to help themselves, fixing, mending, teaching.
