Macro Monday - Generosity

Right after the massive earthquake in 2001 in NW India, village craftsmen made hand-embroidered quilts to raise funds for relief efforts. I bought a couple and donated to families too. This photo is a detail of one of the quilts. Amazing how quickly these huge disasters fade from collective memory. The India quake cost 22,000 lives and 600,000 families' homes but it's already forgotten in the context of more recent tragedies.
