Joint fundraising

I just read CBC‘s (of Canada) news item: The Muslim and Jewish communities in Newfoundland and Labrador announced an emergency partnership Thursday to raise money for victims of the violent conflict in the Middle East. The rest of the short piece is all about the details, that are important, but for me I just enjoy reading about “normal” reactions, friendly neighbours. I did not know that it’s a Newfoundland tradition that when there is a disaster, all neighbours try to get together to help. Nice.
