Do you help the poor?

i live in the depress area since i was born..i can relate what you mean and i even see some student now doing their part to care for the needy. i dont know if it is for the sake of getting grade or its from their hearts to help my constituents..but anyway, i thank GOD for knowing a person like you..i been into helping also but i taught them to find way to provide on their own and seek God first before anything else..i believe Gods promises..GOD bless your good heart!

I keep a small basket of canned food and a can opener and some plastic utensils. That way I can just give them food when I see them. My aunt knew a person that would dress her kids up in ragged clothes and have them sit on the corner to get some money. They had a house and everything. So since I heard about that, I keep the basket. That way I know that they are getting food instead of using money for something they shouldn't.

Yeah! i like to help the poor persons...and many times i had done..In my college we were raise fund in order to give to the poor peoples...and while going on streets when i see some poor persons i help him/her by giving some money to them...have a nice day friend....

Hi, I personally get involved with this kind of projects however throughout the years I do not want dole outs anymore because this make some people to rely on others to give them that's what I call a "beggar's mentality". I am more into social entrepreneurship where I partner with someone to establish a business and train these out of work people and employ them there. That way they become useful and that gives them a sense of pride and dignity.

Well imparting the free education is best way to serve poor and i feel cherished in doing so..

When I see someone standing outside with a sign I give them what I can $1-$5. I think it is very important to treat others how we want to be treated. We never know if and when we could be in their same situation!

Yeah..I can't stand not helping the needy people especially elderly ones..you're are right I pity them as well but I don't know if it is right to feel that way..=)

Yes, I was a volunteer at a homeless shelter . I worked in the kitchen and passed out food. SOmetimes when Im in a car and I see someone Holding a help sign, Ill Give them some change. It makes me feel good.

Yes, i always help the poor. But sometimes it is not possible to help the poor for me for my business. But i am always very helpful. The poor people are the part of our social. So i think everyone should help the poor al time. So help the poor all time. Thanks

Yes, we also do this in schools during Christmas and October. When there are calamities too, our teachers would ask us to donate in cash or kind to help victims. It's a good way of teaching students the value of generosity.

Yes, I help poor especially those children and elders that along the street who have nothing to eat. I help them in my own little ways such as giving food or money. I know its just simple act but I know its a big help for them..

Hello Bestylsih, It is in human nature to help the poor because we are driven by our itellect and we form the emotion "pity" for them. This does not only apply for the poor. Ist of all, I am happy to read your comment about "they don't need my pity". This is really true and I'm glad you don't think that way. Most people who view it like that ends up just viewing those who's in need "loser, low life, unsucessful, etc". It's good to stay astray from this and simply tell yourself, these people just lack some stuff because of whatever reason and just simply support because you care and wish them a better/safer/happier place. I want to thanks you and your school for your supporting cause. People like you are helping others who can't provide themselves, a second chance at life. The best part is that you don't really win anything here, simply just the happy thoughts that you'll be helping those who are in needs. I, myself as a college student loves runing non-profit community events that helps those who are in need. If you wish to participate in these events, school is a good place to start; check out local public places such as a chruch or museum and they can hook you up with projects. Hope that helps. God bless you.

Same as the discussion starter.I help those poor people by donating in our school.I really hate the feeling when I see beggars and pass by them I dont have the chance to help them by giving them shelter.I badly want to be filthy rich so when I see those people I can help them immediately. :/
