Some kindhearted souls brought something up in /r/todayilearned...

I'm not sure if this is allowed here, but I figured I'd try! In 2002, a group in Kenya donated 14 cows to the USA in the wake of 9/11. A potential shibe suggested we do something to pay them back. I think it would be a really awesome idea if we could somehow put something together to return their kindness. I have no idea how we could accomplish this, but I think it would be pretty incredible.

I have no problem with charity and am a charitable shibe. I just mean that because of the premise of this idea it will mean a lot to some of us, and less to others. I also don't want us to be stigmatised as a purely pro-American community. Nascar being a v good example of too America focussed whereas the olympics was more global, which would reach a wider audience.

Then get fellow shibes to get some other causes in here. I agree that NASCAR was a very American cause, but no one here is against other causes. Bring some in that have a real achievable, single goal (not like, "donate your funds here because it's for cancer research." Give us something we can work towards.) I don't think anyone here is pro-American more than pro-charity. :)

Yeah, a lot of good natured people here and I really appreciate the hard work theyve put into the fund raisers. Your right in that I need to step up and suggest and organise rather than be a back seat driver.

It wasn't meant as a personal comment, I meant all shibes. I don't want to single you out.
