The Spoonful of Sugar Festival webmaster@thesosfestival.com
We believe the simplest form of compassion is to simply care for the life of another. And we believe medical care to be the most fundamentally basic means by which to do that. – The Spoonful Of Sugar Festival Mission Statement Friends, As we all know, the global crises MSF faces right now are incredibly urgent. And these are the kinds of polarizing events that can steal our focus from one another as human beings if we are not mindful. Through my own sea of frustration and sorrows and even anger, I know, it can be a challenge to keep this mission simple. But this is not the time to become immobilized by grief or distracted by personal agendas. Not when WE are so graced to be relatively safe where we are and are so graced to have the very basics we need to move from just one day to the next. We are graced to be able to help. So we help. I talk to a lot of you and I find most of you are looking for a way to do that. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières is a worldwide movement that was founded in Paris, France in 1971. They serve in over 70 countries at any given time. The Spoonful Of Sugar, founded in 2015, exists to serve MSF and In that time has raised close to $140,000 USD (Ooh La La, Indeed!) for this magnificent cause that serves patients. Not races, not religions or other social biases. Just patients. And Second Life, this outrageously beautiful and open-minded platform ALSO WITHOUT borders, brings it EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR. Thank you.
