              Want to Help? Here's how! 
              What's 
              the Point 
              So, 
              we have a charming, quaint village in the heart of a nation miles 
              away. So why help, why bother? 
            After World 
              War I America turned its back on Germany and Europe while our victorious 
              allies extracted their reparations. The result was a humiliated, 
              super-depressed Germany that turned to Hitler as its "last, 
              best hope" for revival.  
            After WWII we 
              offered the Marshall Plan and not only gained Germany as a friend 
              and ally, but also stabilized Central Europe, Western Europe and 
              contained Communism. Nice investment. 
            We have the 
              same option now: help the former Soviet Block countries, or turn 
              our backs and await the explosion. 
             Some 
              of us in Fort Wayne (who are these people) 
              have decided to help a village where we can make a difference. We 
              have mustered the area Lions 
              Clubs to help. Local educators have pitched in. Some business 
              people have stepped forward. Friends in Baltimore have joined the 
              effort.
