I grew up as one of the 'plain people'. Those days are long past- more than 60 years past, in fact - but to this day I donate to and admire the Mennonite charity groups. #1: I know they are not going to gouge the recipients. #2: They are conscientious and will do their best. #3: If there is money involved, it will be rightly allocated, even if there happens to be no formal accounting. #4: They won't proselytise or allow their efforts to be contingent upon anyone's religious beliefs or racial happenstance.

They and 'Doctors without Borders' are among my heroes.

So far as I know, the Mennonite group is not involved in the current crisis but at a certain point they may well be.
