Caritas is a Latin word, usually translated as Charity it implies, Caring, love of one"s neighbor, sharing is caring, etc. the various charities took this up as a sort of collective banner- a catch all term for social service organizations. For example the Salvation Army, Volunteers Of America, Red Cross, Unicef, etc. it has been claimed that the last named, Unicef is the world"s largest Secular ( not religious oriented) charity and it is one of the few charitable organizations per se ( That is, by itelf) that has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize- in l965 or 66. This got big publicity at the time and Danny Kaye, named chairman launched a whirlwind flying tour of Europe for publicity purposes- for UNICEF. around l964 Halloween collection cans came in. ( Unicef is one of the few charities to avoid the Christmas rush, preferring to operate at peak in collection mode on Halloween. while on the subject of Charities, the British Royal Red Cross, which is a quasi-Government agency has long had the motto of Faith, Hope, and Charity used on its various badges and insignia. a Sterling idea. The Amnesty International and Doctors without Borders have also been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize ( En Masse) but this is rather unusual.
