Christmas Charities Start Coming In

By

Whenever the last quarter of the year comes in, expect a lot of charities to be put up. While most of us are planning on what stuff to buy and what food to prepare on Christmas, there are people who are sulking in a corner, wondering what Christmas would be like this year.

A lot of them are made up of orphans and old people who have been abandoned. For orphans, they never really experienced what the true meaning of Christmas truly brings. They only hear about it through the papers or from stories by people who visit them but as far as really enjoying the season of giving, majority are clueless on how it is like.

As for elders who have been abandoned, they have at one time enjoyed the spirit of the Yuletide season. They know how much joy it brings to any home and while they are sure that past experiences are cherished memories, the fact remains that they have to spend Christmas differently from hereon.

Social community services have been put up to try and share the spirit of Christmas to these people. It is not simply about giving gifts. It is about being there for them since they really have no one else to celebrate anymore. Even if you ask them, it is about fighting off the loneliness that they experience during these times. Apparently, it all comes down to making do with what they can this coming holidays and rest assured, being loved or having company around is more than enough for them this time around.

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.

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.
