Physicians for Peace bills itself as an international humanitarian non-profit medical education organization.
So ... what does that mean? When the CEO stood up he provided a parable ... he simply said and I quote here ... if you give a man a fish you can feed him for a day. If you teach a man how to fish? You can feed him for a lifetime. Basically they're not just coming in and helping people. They are teaching them how to help themselves....an idea that separates them from other similar non-profits like Doctors Without Boarders.
It's Doctors Without Borders. Boarders are people who rent individual rooms in one's home. Borders are the politically drawn lines separating regions and nations.
