Giving Something Back

Taking Time Out to Spend Quality Time with Charity Institutions

By

Time is gold and money for most. But time and attention is important as well to people who are left in institutions that house most of the abandoned children and elders today. The attention that they seek is the attention that they lost from the day that they were left out in the cold for people who simply cannot face responsibility in the way that it should be.

Unconditional Love and Affection

Attention and time for these people do not need to be in the form of cash and goods. It is more on providing care and a crying shoulder for most since all their problems and woes are totally kept within them. Storing all of these and not being able to let out emotions is as hard as it gets. But people just don’t seem to care much for others since they obviously have not matured enough to take on responsibilities that people should be always aware of.

Living the Life of a Beggar

By

Beggars are often misunderstood as people who have given up on life and choose to beg for support in the form of pennies and loose change. To these people, feeling that they have given up any hope of getting their feet back on the ground is a normal response if they were asked up close and personal.

Beggars of Today

While sharing a nickel or a quarter may go a long way for them, it is hard to believe the people would simply lie over and die. But to some people in such an unfortunate situation, it is more than simple surrender but another aspect of personal proportions that have led them to lose hope and live the rest of their days in misery.

Money and support is not all the things in a person’s life. The matter of affection and care is also an invisible need that people tend to overlook. For people who fill the streets in rags and dirty clothes, a simple comfort and smile may eventually give their lives a new lease.

Orphans deserve Equal Rights to Be Happy As Well

By

Orphans and people who are deserted for some reason by their supposed families should not be left out and forgotten. They should be given equal footing when it comes to enjoying the benefits of life and other social responsibilities that a normal person would experience today.

Orphans for a Cause

Such can be tagged as the need for equal rights and treatment. Orphans are human beings as well and they deserve to taste the benefits of normal people who have people to lean on in certain times. But for these people whom have been abandoned, it does not make any difference on whom or where they are. They deserve to be happy in the same way the people coming from intact families are happy.

Being an orphan is not something people expect, especially for children who have been deprived of their natural means of living. They are in this disposition for the reason that their supposed parents are unaware of what they have gotten themselves into. The obvious victim thus becomes the offspring, an insensitive act that cannot be corrected by these orphans alone.

Giving to Charity Wholeheartedly

By

We all here that giving to charity is a good Samaritan’s deed. Sadly, people are not entirely aware of why they are doing charity work. Some would even do it for building their image or for some other reason to get attention and commendations for their supposed efforts. However, it has been forgotten that charities are done for the purpose of lending a helping hand without expecting anything in return. The only probable return is the feeling of happiness where a person is able to contribute his way towards actually helping people in need of it.

Volunteers for Charity

Charity work should always come from the heart and not the mind. Taking into consideration that people have the excess funds and resources to donate and help people who have misfortunes in their means of living is something that will depend on the actual purpose for helping them out. Charity and donation should be done with an open heart, the reward of which is the tingling feeling we all feel inside for contributing to a worthy cause.

A Blind Man’s Quest for Equal Rights

By

Loss of vision is something that people can surely have a hard time coping with. A person is as good as crippled since loss of vision or becoming blind severely becomes a setback that will make ordinary people suffer grave loss of self-confidence.

Blind Man's Hope

Foundations such as the American Foundation of the Blind make sure that such a disability will not become something for blind people to lose hope. Efforts to support research and aid the blind people to gain equal footing and opportunities such as education and work are some of their main points of existence.

Blind people should not consider such an occurrence as something that would entirely classify them as outcasts or freaks. Bodily defects and disabilities should not become a means for making people believe that they have been relegated to a limited status in life. Rather, with the efforts of such foundations as the American Foundation of the Blind, hope floats and all opportunities would start pouring in.

War Heroes Who Lose Hope

By

Military personnel and servicemen who put their lives on the line for country and fellowmen may not always have something to look forward to when they get home. Loss of opportunity to perhaps get a decent education for their own future would often relegate them to foster homes since immediate family members may not appreciate the career path that such people would have, notably the ones who have suffered injuries and disabilities in the course of their tenure.

War Heroes of the World

Upon reaching the retiring age, it has been common practice for such people to seek shelter from government run homes for relief. Some may not even have anyone to lean on, hence the reason why programs to show just appreciation through comfort and gifts for chosen periods in a year are given. Attention and company alone are big factors to help the psychological needs of such people, supposedly heroes who have risked lives in protecting the honor of their nation and families.

The Children of Hope of UNICEF

By

All over the world, there are a number of children and abandoned kids that have wandered off into the world without direction. Some would not immediately understand why they followed such plights in their lives but if looked up close, it is more of fate rather than choice that placed them in such situations. By this, it means that children are not to be blamed for being existent but rather the mindless people who would care more about themselves rather than what they have brought out in the world.

Children of Hope

But to argue and continuously put the blame will not remedy the problem at hand. The best thing is to find alternative solutions such as looking for potential foster homes or new people to take care of them so that they may be put back on the right track.

This is what some organizations such as UNICEF aims to develop. It is not more about prestige, but making life meaningful to the younger beings that are totally wandering in the world without purpose.

The Old People of Foster Homes

By

Foster homes are usually home for the old people who have no one left or have no one to attentively cater to their needs. While some people would make these homes their last resort, the risk of not being able to take care of such people who are in their latter years is just too much to consider.

The Old Folks

People today have lesser options of taking care of their elderly folks. Much as they would want, home for the aged and foster homes were put up for a reason, that of which is to provide proper shelter and care for people who have become weak and need a respite to which they can retire from the usual busy days of their lives.

The thought of parents or grandparents being surrendered to such homes may be heartbreaking but the best thing to do is look out for their welfare. This includes that of making sure that they are visited at every possible moment. People may get old but their hearts and minds will always cry out for the people they love.

A Penny Spared is a Penny Cherished

By

Deep in our pockets, we often disregard the presence of loose change in the form of pennies and quarters. The overall value of these in a monetary aspect would be seemingly useless, but to the people who are not so well-off in the financial aspect, they would go a long way in adding to their savings for daily needs of survival.

Loose Change

While it is true that people have not been that lucky or have mismanaged their lives somewhere along the way, but the bottom line is that familiar phrase “every penny counts”. Bickering and scolding people who have made a mess out of their lives, both in the natural course and of their own doing, will always be realized when all has been done.

It would all come to a stage in life where asking for help in the form of pennies or goods would become imminent. But just the same, extending a helping hand with things that may not be as important may become someone else’s treasure.

Thriving on Fund Drives Using Classified Junk Materials

By

Recycling used objects and things that would not have any more use is one of the common practices to which most people would use to convert them into cash or goods for donation to charity institutions. To most people, the value of junk and other trashed items would not have the same tag as it did before. Some would not even care on their use, content with just placing them in trash bags to help maintain their clean surroundings.

Waiting for Blessings

One man’s trash may be the benefit of another. This is something that best describes recycling used goods and converting them into something beneficial. There are still monetary values for such and people would be surprised at how much they could raise from such efforts. It is not entirely about cleaning up the trash, but rather converting cash into gold so that the needy people would benefit from them in whichever way possible.
