Feeding a Hungry Child?

When one takes it upon oneself to turn compassion (karuna) into action(karma) then do you suppose that the starving child will really have any concern as to the religious path you follow?Or will he be too busy eating?

    problems in the real world will need different solutions than charity.

    for instance, this recent news article:

    http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/09/14091...

    World population to keep growing this century, hit 11 billion by 2100

    Date:

    September 18, 2014

    Source:

    University of Washington

    Summary:

    The chance that world population in 2100 will be between 9.6 billion and 12.3 billion people is 80 percent, according to the first such United Nations forecast to incorporate modern statistical tools.

    known as Bayesian statistics, that combines all available information to generate better predictions.

    Most of the anticipated growth is in Africa, where population is projected to quadruple from around 1 billion today to 4 billion by the end of the century. The main reason is that birth rates in sub-Saharan Africa have not been going down as fast as had been expected. There is an 80 percent chance that the population in Africa at the end of the century will be between 3.5 billion and 5.1 billion people.

    Other regions of the world are projected to see less change. Asia, now 4.4 billion, is projected to peak at around 5 billion people in 2050 and then begin to decline. Populations in North America, Europe, and Latin America and the Caribbean are projected to stay below 1 billion each.

    Anyone can do good. If i was starving and dying in the desert, I wouldn't care if the person saving me was a christian or a muslim.
