We are all part of the larger community we live in. It is not possible for society to be stable if there is a wide disparity in the well-being and opportunities accorded to peoples. Neither is anyone not moved when they become aware of the pain and suffering of others.

 

If you have been blessed to receive much in life, we encourage you to also be generous in giving and serving the needs of those who may have been disadvantaged because of health or financial reasons. Compassion and generosity often permeates the whole fabric of society beyond the beneficiaries first intended. In so doing, it releases healing and the restoration of trust in the goodness of people. We begin to appreciate human life and values when we are able to see beyond our own needs.

 

Here are some organizations that you can look at. You can give and volunteer in other organizations closer to your heart.
