There are people who have much more than they need to live while others have barely enough to survive.
They do not have shelter to live, food to eat and clothes to wear. People who have extra are living a comfortable and a posh life. While those who have barely the vitals are fighting each day for life.
One cannot make such people opulent but can at least help them achieve the essentials of life and lead a prosperous life. Helping the poor and needy people is a good deed. Caring for the poor and needy people and helping them is a noble endeavor. The more you give to poor and needy people, the more you strengthen their dependency. If you give them the chance or opportunity, you’ll see an effective and long-lasting improvement in their lives. Create a new system built on inter-dependency which motivates them to work and move forward and their dignity is maintained. Tossing out money or other kinds of donation do help the poor and needy people but the need is to direct your energies and efforts in raising them, building relationship, teaching them and moreover, regaining their self-confidence and self-esteem to work for themselves.
Let us change our perspectives. Instead of considering them as a project to help, view them as people to love and respect. Following are the few ways we can help the poor and needy people:
- Donate Groceries/Eatables
- Donate Old Belongings
- Moral Consolation
- Personal Financial Help
- Group Involvement/Volunteering Teams
- Social Media: one can raise his or her voice and create awareness and get a helping hand; can connect to various charity organizations or community centers involved in helping the needy people; can buy products online from websites that donate a portion of their proceeds to charity that helps the poor and needy people.
YOUR LITTLE AND MY LITTLE CAN GO ALONG WAY, LET’S SHOW LOVE
