Film Transcript / Subtitles

Hello, I'm Lorne Green. For a moment, imagine yourself among thousands overseas, waiting in line for your daily meal, your only meal for the day. In many parts of India, that amounts to six ounces or less of wheat. Or you're cold and ragged, in need of clothing. It might be you. You might have been one of the millions overseas who are still now desperately in need of aid. Now just imagine their plight and help them through your religious faith. Protestants give to the one great hour of sharing. Catholics, to the Bishops' Overseas Aid Fund. And if you're Jewish, to the United Jewish Appeal. Help yourself by helping others and give through these three great faiths. When your religious faith makes its appeal, give generously to the needy overseas. You'll be thankful you did. And so will they. Thank you.
