Helping others...

Tweet

In my line work, I deal with people everyday. I have seen all walks of life and most often, I get really sad. It's because I see the least fortunate, least priviledged people struggling for survival. I have seen gory scenes of tradegy, even had a man die in front of me while I was holding his arm. And I say to mayself, I am very blessed to be who I am, the one giving help insted of asking for it. I am from the Philippines and we are not rich. A huge percentage of our population belong to the extreme poverty line. I work for the government and all we do are bent on helping these people. But it's never enough... We need more help from thr private sector. The rich people, should have the heart to share even just a morsel of their blessings to the least fortunate. Simple giving of school supplies to school children, providing free health care and employment opportunities are just a few of the things that we all can do to help. These may be just superficial and temporary efforts, but they are huge starters for bigger projetcs. A child with complete school supplies to last for almost the entire school year is ensured on a year of learning and saved from a year of labor and ignorance. OF course, providing employment or means of livelihood for the parents is vital to the child's survival and that of the whole family... Let us do our share in helping others.. We do not have to be rich.. We justr have to genuinely care..
