The Power of Giving

Why Give?

We live in a world, full of violence, human sufferings and environmental destruction.
Just take the recent events, the earth quakes & nuclear accident in Japan to violence to people caught in war or suppression in the Middle East Countries. These have untold disastrous impact to human existence and well being.
The world has responded quickly to these crisis with assistance of every conceivable kind, to help heal the wounds of these people and reduce their pain.
We believe that giving is a fundamental human need - one that benefits both the recipients of the gift and the giver.

What about Other Disasters?

In today world, there are many "disasters" that kill many more people that the earth quakes and in war torn countries - they just aren't as graphic, immediate or as easy to present on TV.
Consider the following statistics:

• One out of every four people in the world is hungry.

About 1.75 billion people in the 104 countries covered by the MPI—a third of their population — live in multidimensional poverty — that is, with at least 30 percent of the indicators reflecting acute deprivation in health, education and standard of living. This exceeds the estimated 1.44 billion people in those countries who live on $1.25 a day or less (though it is below the share who live on $2 or less).

• Every few seconds a child dies from a preventable disease

What  Can You Give?
You may have much to give, or you may have only a little to give.
The key to the power of giving is givng to your potential.
It is, to give what you have that could be of value to others.
These could include time, money, or the ability to organize a fundraising event, or they could be more intangible, like love, wisdom , and attention.
I strongly recommend you read "The Power of Giving" by Azim Jamal and Harvey Mckinnon. It is obtainable from the website http://www.thepowerofgiving.org/home
