Home About The Forum Our Mission AHF 2010 Support Us Contact Us Support Us The Asia Humanitarian Forum will succeed only with the support of other like-minded individuals, organisations and governments. We are constantly on the look out for collaborative partnerships, corporate support and volunteers. Even moral support from the proverbial man/woman in the street will be whole-heartedly welcome. A positive shift - no matter how minor - in people's mindsets because of initiatives like the AHF is cause for celebration. Join us in our efforts to be a catalyst for abundant outpouring of human compassion and subsequent action. Write to support@asiahumanitarianforum.org You know, there's a lot of talk in this country about the federal deficit. But I think we should talk more about our empathy deficit - the ability to put ourselves in someone else's shoes; to see the world through the eyes of those who are different from us - the child who's hungry, the steelworker who's been laid-off, the family who lost the entire life they built together when the storm came to town. When you think like this - when you choose to broaden your ambit of concern and empathize with the plight of others, whether they are close friends or distant strangers - it becomes harder not to act; harder not to help.
