How to Start a Good Charity Drive

By

There are people who really want to devote some time they have in helping out other people. But the purpose for putting up charity drives would have to define what they are designed for and what they intend to accomplish. People would resort to medical missions, conducting community service in helping out shorthanded foundations to take care of the people under their wing.

Volunteering for Charity

It should however be noted that all this work is purely for volunteering and not strictly required. It is done out of entirely an open heart with no expectations of anything in return. This is the charity way of living, sharing and spreading the love that other people look for to which they have stumbled and almost fallen.

Such a task has been left under the wing of people who stand and believe in something that should be done for the oppressed. All it takes is identifying and matching the people to do the said work at the proper time.

Community Service in Educational Curriculums

By

In most educational institutions, community service is placed alongside the entire curriculum so that up and coming yuppies can get a glimpse of other things they can do outside that of contributing their expertise and working for a living. Exposing them to the people who have not the same luck that they have, like obtaining degrees and becoming bums is a good way of showing them that life is too precious to take for granted.

Also, taking on community service work where they can do their share in helping various foundations and organizations that aim to answer the call of the needs of various groups is something that people may want to devote a part of their lives. It does not cost much for people to do so. A portion of their time and what they can offer is all that is needed. Everything is purely voluntary but the best way to see where they can help out once they are set out in the world and venture on things that they can contribute for a better society and world to live in.

Charity Foundations are Non-Profit Organizations

By

Practically anyone must be wondering, do all donations given to the known charitable institutions in their region actually reach their intended purpose of helping the actual people in need? Technically, the common man would care less but each penny or in kind donations are totally for the account of the people housed and targeted for such aids and donations.

Non Profit Charity Organizations

These charity organizations are non-profit organizations. They are purely for voluntary aid and work to serve people and endeavors in need. While the immediate understanding that people in need would be the main beneficiaries, there are other causes such as disaster victims, and other individuals who would find themselves on the losing end.

But just the same, the aim of such foundations and organizations is to purely offer help and support in any form possible. It is not about how much or what to give. It is about the use and extending that helping hand to help them in their unfortunate predicaments caused by varying events that have come into their lives.

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.

Looking Through the Eyes of Despair

By

Eyes of Despair

A lot can be said about a person by one glance of their eyes. Expressions can be extracted from a person�s eyes and this is something that can be obviously connoted up close. Especially for children who are certainly innocent and are no experts in hiding inner emotions and feelings, it is but normal to get a prelude to what they are experiencing at the moment. It is simply something that is hard to find.

While the whole story of such plights of lesser fortunate siblings cannot be entirely assessed, it does not take a person to understand why such people would be found in that predicament. But people do not really need to hear their story as most would come from typical mishaps such as financial and lesser responsible people who start to become selfish at certain points of their lives.

Siblings are the victims of such selfish acts and bearing the brunt for them is totally unacceptable.

Donation To Catholic Charities

By

The most notable donations given to charities would usually be in the form of cash or clothes. While there are many other things that catholic charitable institution would indeed need, they will in no way dictate what these needs are. Catholic charities such as that of the Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County, are numerous, most of them placed on their website but do not obligate people to actually prioritize them.

Catholic Charities

Donations are done through own free will. They will normally come unsolicited and it would depend on the people who put premium on them if they would be able to adhere towards these requests. Gifts in the form of cash gifts, legacy gifts, memorial and honorary gifts are some of the many types of donations that they would need and it would be up to the donors to choose on which among them would be ideal and affordable on their end.

The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson�s Research

By

The best way to fight disease and illnesses is to be actually experiencing them and trying to find ways to combat them. Such was the motivation that popular celebrity actor Michael J. Fox that brought him to put up this foundation in May, 2000. Fox was diagnosed in 1998 as having a young-onset Parkinson�s disease. Instead of looking for a cure on his own, he turned to making it a foundation to be able to help and make research on how to cure or fight the dreaded disease that has accumulated over $90,000.00 to date.

Donations are continuously racking in and such funds are the basis for making the aggressive research of the foundation advanced and possible to finally discover proper therapies and cures for Parkinson�s disease.

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.

Rare Animals Will Become Rare Species Soon

By

The common way for people to see wild life animals is usually towards the television set or photo images that we see everyday. Another is perhaps going to the nearby zoo where a person may catch a short glimpse of the animal roster that they have to offer. But in most cases, there are still a lot of rare animals to be seen in the world today and that the only people who may see them are actually the ones responsible for their possible non-existence in the near future, the hunters.

Crocodiles

Crocodiles, birds, monkeys, bears and other mammals that are known to live on earth may not be seen by most people and some have already been declared extinct due to the deprivation of their right to procreate and wander off into the wilderness where hunters seek their prey.

There are preservations and foundations that exert their efforts to save them from extinction, no matter how dangerous they are. However, everyone must do his part in it. Without the extra effort, they are good as memories of our fictitious past.
