Charity
The work of charity is not for everyone, but what is charity exactly?
char·i·ty: the voluntary giving of help, typically in the form of money, to those in need.
Over the world charity takes place usually by donating money. But what is charity to those who have no use for money? For example, stray animals or infants.
This video shows a man full of compassion. He helps tons of stray animals on the streets, this is a form of charity.
Although throughout time charity has dwindled down to only a handful that will actually help those on the streets. Now, most think that by donating a dollar at the supermarket is their good deed for the month.
So my question to you is what do you define as charity? What do you believe is the most effective charity, Donating or Hands-on? Please comment your thoughts below and thanks for reading my blog!

Hi Gabby. After reading your blog, I did a little research about charity organizations. It's amazing how some of these organizations pass on very little of the funds raised to the people/cause they are raising the money
ReplyDeletefor. There's one called the " Kids Wish Network" that raised $127.8 million last year, but paid professional fund raisers $109 million to raise the funds. So to answer your question, I definitely believe that "hands-on" efforts is more charitable than stuffing a dollar in the the jar at the checkout counter .
I think it is everything as long as you don't think about something in return. Many people donate to Good Will but they want the Tax reduction paper so it that really charity or is that helping others while helping yourself.
ReplyDeleteIt's honestly come down to the point that many people are just selfish - emphasis on MANY, not all! As Jenn said, despite someone having donated, they want something in return for themselves. It's heartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteFor me, charity is exactly what it is defined as. Voluntary help to those in need. I personally prefer hands on charity as opposed to giving money as I don't really know that it will actually be going towards helping someone. I'd much rather volunteer my time at a shelter or make and deliver food to the less fortunate.
