Good Deeds--16 Non-Governmental Organization's Ideology and Practices

描述

As politicians are unable to cope with the never ending calamities, there is an influential force of virtue moving the world even amid some hindrances.

In the world of calamities, various Non-Governmental Organizations have emerged to supplement the uneven distribution of resources and inefficient rescue effort by individual countries. May be they would like to help those dying, wounded soldiers under the gun fires, or the poor sick immigrants under the blizzard, or orphans of wartime disaster, or the people without food while the family broke and country in peril. Also to help the problem of difficulty on delivering the medicines, and the poors who have no access to borrow.

Over two years, the research teams of Rhythms Monthly have gone into Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania, covering over 20 countries. They went from headquarters to the fields, from front line to the rear support; from sacred palace to the heart of darkness, from the horrible site of Tsunami in South Asia and the cracked valley of India-Pakistan earthquake to the severe drought in the vast land of East Africa. In the end they brought back over twelve thousand words and 220 photographs for the production of this book. “Good Deeds: 16 Non-Governmental Organization’s Ideology and Practices”, in the hope to witness these Goodness Forces to rise, condense, distribute and spread.

歷經兩年的時間，《經典》採訪小組深入歐洲、非洲、亞洲、澳洲二十國；從總部到田野，從前線到後勤：從聖潔之殿到黑暗之心，從南亞海嘯的驚世現場、印巴地震的斷裂山谷到東非的苦旱大地……。最後，帶回逾十二萬字、超過兩百幀照片，結集出這本《善行：十六個非政府組織的理念與實踐》，以期見證這股善勢力的崛起、凝聚、散布與傳遞。
