Someone helping someone else. Sort of like "do a good turn daily."I'm intrigued to know what it means in the context of the forum.
More on this soon... this is related to a new project I am working on:Is there a new arrow-yellow Camino Angel badge? Or have I just not noticed it before?
Either way, I'm intrigued to know what it means in the context of the forum.
Two questions;
1. Would US “tax persons” be better off donating to Peaceable Projects, as a conduit to supporting Camino Angels?
2. When can we donate to Camino Angels?
I had a few Camino angels during my walk in 2016. When I think of Camino kindness, a Spanish man with great compassion and concern stopped to help me as I sat on the side of the trail to deal with a blister. I don’t speak Spanish and he didn’t speak English. When he saw my foot, we asked him if he had anything to put on it. He said no and walked away. A minute later he came back, dug in his bag to find some ointment for my foot. And he left. I told my camino walking friend. “He was so nice. I wish I could have communicated with him’. And she said, ‘You did.’ That was my Camino angel. I never saw him again.Is there a new arrow-yellow Camino Angel badge? Or have I just not noticed it before?

I'm sure that's nothing else (or less or more) than a person living by "PAY IT FORWARD" standards in her/his life. It might just happened on the Camino by chance.Is there a new arrow-yellow Camino Angel badge? Or have I just not noticed it before?

My Camino Angel was a young girl from Ohio who held me above water when I fell in a river at Espinal. The icy cold hit on the back of my neck made me lose consciousness. In the vague mists of my mind I heard my name being called and hands grabbing at me before it all went black again. I found out later that this young girl slipped into the water to get behind me and push. While I stood dazed on the bank she took a towel, dried my feet, put on clean socks and laced up my boots. Little did I realise that she was as wet as I was. A hero, a saint, a one hundred percent camino angel was MollyIs there a new arrow-yellow Camino Angel badge? Or have I just not noticed it before?

I have added my "like" to @jmcarp 's post above twice and both times it has disappeared shortly thereafter. This has never happened to me with any other post. What is happening here?
Thank you. It has now reappeared on my screen.
Perhaps Rebekka will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Peaceable Projects is a registered non-profit charity with the US Internal Revenue Service (I believe the legal terminology is 501(c)3), which means that donations are tax-deductible for US citizens. I don't know the impact of that on donations to that particular charity by citizens of other countries, but for me, at least, I haven't worried about those details if I feel an organization is worthy of a donation....I have looked at your new 'Camino Angel' site and also Rebekka Scott's Peaceable Projects allied site and I am a little, what, concerned, confused?? Hers is even an Inc. company not a charitable .org...
