Comment on Coexist a symbol of reconciliation by Rey Blanco

I feel there should be a global COEXIST day. These can be acknowledged through major events and MeDia, raid ios and tellusvisions.

Domestic bullies terrorize true Christians into a spiritual warfare. When we quantify the punishment we face because of the leader’s iniquities of polarizing of the ‘enemy’ we
need to focus on the First Two Commandments.

In the case of the golden rule which follows from the First Commandment is “Do unto others …” The scary part is if religous leaders are masochists involving us to partake in their spiritual hatreds and find their reasons and persuasions to justify why they have an exception to disobey these commandments.

Domestic bullies are the one’s that become terrorists. I suppose if you are in a situation that is volatile, you’d probably try to get your group to hate some external enemy so your punishment for not following the commandments is not to great to bear.

I am Christian and know that Christ is existence, which means that you simply have to exist to go through Christ to get to the TRUE FATHER, which is one and the same God to each other, Christ and the same Holy Spirit of all religions, regardless of their fantic bullies.

“”This is a call to action”". What action are you proposing? Genocide of Muslims? Who’s the Nazi now, you fear mongerers.

This is the Conversation of mine with raj Kumar.

Raj Kumar: Can i Speak with Sister Sunitha Johnson.

Me: Yes,This is Sunitha Johnson.

Raj Kumar: Good Morning,I am Raj Kumar,India Director for People Aid calling from Visakha patnam.I would like to just say hello as i had came to know about you through the Dalit Women Network in India.Can i know more about you?Do you receive any foreign funding?Do you have help from any one?

Me: It was nice to know about you sir.I am working among the untouchables and back ward people who are called dalits and tribes.I am having one orphanage with 69 children and 60 widows and 10 handicapped people.I do not have any support from any one as i work as a teacher and help run the home with my salary.I dont have any one as i am an orphan dalit women.I love my dalit tribe so i love to work for them in treating them as my family. Can i know about people aid?

Raj Kumar: People aid helps the needed families with rickshaws,sewing machines,drilling borewells to the water needed places.Do you have FCRA or Do you know any one in the Abroad?

Me: It was nice to know about you.I had registered a charity in the year 1985 and through it i am doing many social works with the help of local people by distributing wheel chairs to the handicapped and computers training for the unemployed youth,tailoring course for the women for their income. I don’t have FCRA or i dont know any one in the abroad.Can you help us through People aid in having rickshaws to these untouchable men and sewing machines to the grown up girls and women and two borewells for these villages where they are crying for water.If you can come to our villages i can show you all the places and you can know see with your eyes about the present situation.

Raj Kumar:There is no time for me to come and unless if you know any one in oversees,we cant help you and we cant come to your place as we want to talk with the overseas people whom they know you.

Me: Sir,what is the use of knowing about overseas people.You are staying in India and if there is no time for you,why cant you send your staff to see our villages and our work.

Raj Kumar: it is not possible and we cant help you.and he hang up the phone.

Now i had requested this raj kumar to see our works and help our untouchable people through People Aid.This is what the people in India think that helping untouchables is a Sin..

Can any one pass our conversion to Mr Steve sir so that he can come to our place and see the situation of these untouchable villages in India.

I am so happy to see all of your concern towards rickshaws.It is one of the best idea for the survive of an Indian family.But the men who are driving those rickshaws are earning money and using it for drinking liquor without giving anything to their families.So i would prefer for developing women through tailoring programme or self help development programmes where they can take care of their familes through the income which they earn.Even i had saved 18 girls from the hands of prostitution and now making them to learn tailoring course so that they can earn their own income through stitching their clothes.I would love to visit our place in south india and bless our works among the Child and Sex slavery People.Email me at reachthedisabled@yahoo.com

having done it for 15 years;

1 – set clear boundaries in chunks of time and try to keep those regular
2- look for integration – how work in 1 place can nourish another
3 – own your own electronic gear and invite all parties to share the costs
4 – if you work it well, u get to pick the best parts out of the job
5 – overcommunicate to everyone where you are and who you are working for
