Charity is the Way to Go
Reasons why people should donate and give their time for the good of others.
Charity, the act of doing something for someone with no expectation of recompense. We all do charity in our everyday lives. We do so many little things for other people. We tell a person that they dropped something or hold door open for someone. Some people notice these small acts and say thank you but others do not care or realize. The majority of humanity will do something for others even in dark or sad times.

Throughout time people have helped others, in the darkness of the persecution of Christians in Rome many people helped and hid others. The same thing happed during the Holocaust. Many Jews and other people died, but in the darkness many kind souls hid people away from persecution. During the fires in October last year so many people stepped up and donated food, clothing, and even time to families who were affected by the fires. Today charity happens everywhere, homeless people are served meals everyday in America and people are given medication, food, and shelter all over the world. So many people do charity and do not even realize it.
So many people give their time in soup kitchens and even some volunteer at schools to help children learn and grow. I can volunteer to work at a soup kitchen or beach clean up to help keep our community clean and safe for others. Many Nuns, Priests, and even regular people head to many third wold countries for weeks or even years to help natives get back on their feet. So many people are stricken by disease, war, and even abuse and can not support themselves. So many people are willing to help others and provide the thing that a person can not provide for themselves.
There are so many good people that do good things for others. Almost anyone could reach out in search of help in this world and many people would be glad to offer it. God provided much love and supplies for us to help others. It is not only the love to God that makes charity thrive but the love of humanity also.

This is a great article, everyone likes to do good things for someone else. At the moment I work for a company called Thanksto and we have a website http://www.thanksto.com.
Our mission is to make a dramatic difference in our communities by encouraging everyone to thank the people who make our lives better.
We recently had a US charity called Cheerful Givers join us on our site and they are all about helping parents in poverty.
They fill birthday bags with toys and then give them to children who are disadvantaged or whose parents don’t have enough money to spend buying them presents for their birthday.
Here’s a link to their profile page:

They just want to try to make the kids feel special on their birthday and I thought this was such a lovely charity, I wish they could spread all over the world and help kids out in every country!
