Living the Life of a Beggar

February 27, 2007 By Charities Blog

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

February 25, 2007 By Charities Blog

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

February 23, 2007 By Charities Blog

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

February 19, 2007 By Charities Blog

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.

A Blind Man’s Quest for Equal Rights

February 17, 2007 By Charities Blog

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.

Hunting Animals Preaches Extinction

January 30, 2007 By Charities Blog

Apparently, extinction of certain species in the world is not because of natural causes, but rather the doing of their co-creatures. Man tops the list for being the primary reason for the fast race towards nearing extinction of certain animals, most coming from hunting them and using them as signs of achievements and distinction. Whales, bears and crocodiles are the ones nearing extinction and most of them are the ones hunted by man on land or sea.

Animals Nearing Extinction

Such has garnered the attention of certain groups, calling for movements to save the remaining species from nearing extinction. The include No Eating of Animal Meat and No Kill Movements to help save the welfare of concerned animals.

Animals Nearing Extinction

It is evident that man has caused the problem and hence man is expected to solve the crisis at hand. But causing the problem is easier than solving it, as this is the reason why the movements have been formed. Widespread awareness for the impending extinction of these mammals is at hand and without the efforts of these foundations, it would only be a matter of time before other races and species follow their demise.
