It is not only people who need charity. Animals also need it, maybe much more so because they are usually unable to ask for what they need. There may be a slight difference however in the manner of handing out charity to animals as compared as to how it is given to humans. Charity to animals involves protection from abuse, provision of a suitable home, rescue from maltreatment, and support of laws that will enable the authorities to prosecute violators of animal rights. Animals rights … [Read more...]
Disaster Fatigue
The term denotes the slow influx of aid and donations form countries that used to be generous enough to send billions of dollars to countries that have been devastated by disasters like the recent catastrophes in Myanmar and China. The government has sent aid but for most of the private individuals who used to give a buck or two to help people rebuild their lives, donations are relatively small compared to other disasters on record. Maybe its the recent financial crunch that has many either … [Read more...]
Do You Check Before Giving To Charity?
How do you give to charitable organizations? Do you have a specific list of groups and causes that you regularly help out? Or maybe you’re the type that gives whenever you can, whenever someone comes up to you? It does not really matter how you choose to give to charity – it is the intent behind the giving that counts.

Donate Something Still Useful to Charity
When we hear of solicitations, chances are our mindset would be to give away old clothes or canned goods just to say that we made a charitable act. But while this is something generous of us, it may be wise for us to use logic at times. Old clothes still have categories and this includes “still usable”. These days, people forget about this important necessity. We stock up old clothes and put them in sacks since we cannot use them. But before we placed them there, we already have an idea on … [Read more...]
The Dilemma Of Celebrity Adoptions (From the Archives)

Helping Disabled People in Kind
People having disabilities are sights to which anyone's heart will surely go out to. A lot of them can be seen all throughout the world, particularly in Africa, the Philippines and Vietnam.

Below are three astonishing experiments with DNA which proves that DNA can heal itself according to the "feelings" of the individual as reported recently by Gregg Braden. In his recent program entitled Healing Hearts/Healing Nations: The Science of Peace and the Power of Prayer, Gregg Braden discussed how in the past we lost huge amounts of information from ancient spiritual traditions (when the library at Alexandria burned we lost at least 532,000 documents), and that there may be … [Read more...]
The Limited Choices of People Seeking Aid
Around the world, it cannot be denied that there are a lot of people who are experiencing poverty and issues regarding their manner of living. A lot would depend on where they are situated, the country and of course the manner of living that majority of the region is experiencing.
