Ngos in India are the best way to improve the life of poor

Taking the responsibility and working towards the development of a poor person’s life is the only thing one can do to make a developed nation. Such kind of thing is not possible single handedly. So, we all have to come forwards to help the needy ones. After all, what makes a big difference to your life; if you give a part of your salary for the poor and your time for their growth? For this, ngos in India work a lot towards improvising the life of poor and needy people. It is really heart rendering, when we see small children begging on streets, old people sitting on the footpaths or bending against other people for alms and food.

The main task of ngo India is to provide basic amenities to these poor people, by raising funds and donations from the general public. They act as a bridge between the donator and the poor people, who are in need of it. Apart from this, they keep on organizing camps from time to time, so that all the necessities can be fulfilled. Some of the types of camps organized by ngo Delhi or any other are literacy camps, education camps, awareness camps and health camps. In these camps, all the services and material is provided free to the poor people. In this way, they try to bring poor people out of the dark pit of problem. So, it is always better that you also become a part of their growth and help them in establishing a proper place in the society.

8 tips for teens on how to help the poor and needy

What can you, a teenager who doesn't have a lot of money or resources, do to help the poor and needy?

More than you think. Most young adults are blessed with the creativity and intelligence to find ways to help others despite limited resources. Here are some tips that can perhaps start the creative process:

1. Give a portion of your allowance each week to a poor and needy person or a cause in support of them

How much is your allowance or your salary from your part-time job? Not much, you might say. The great thing about giving though is that in about 99 percent of cases, you are not restricted to how much you can give to help the poor and needy.

That means for instance, instead of dishing out a rupee a day for a can of soda from the vending machine at school or work, maybe you can save this money two days of the week. Then give this money to Punkam Charitable Trust.

2. Encourage a family charity project

Get the whole family to pitch in at least once a month to a worthy cause by organizing a family charity project. Call a family meeting (if you've never had one of these, this is a great time to start) and discuss your idea. Then come to an agreement on how everyone can help the poor. Whether it's contributing a set amount a week as a group with Dad giving the money to the religious place after prayers or setting up a box somewhere in the house where family members can privately donate, you all decide.

3. Talk about it in your youth group

At your next youth group meeting, put the difficulties of the poor and needy in your community on the agenda. Simply discuss and brainstorm. You don't have to come up with a plan all at once. But discussing this will start the process and keep it in people's minds.

If you don't have a youth group, get your friends together. Instead of having the usual hang out time one day, substitute this with a formal meeting. Now you have a youth group that can do this exercise.

4. Visit a poor part of town

How many big cities have "poor quarters"? Almost every single one. Sometimes, we need to see the reality of poverty right in front of us to really believe it's there, especially if we live in a financially well-off part of a city.

Go with your youth group to visit these areas. You don't have to necessarily bring money or food for them (although that wouldn't be a bad idea). Talk to the people, if they are willing to be approached, about living conditions and how they ended up there. Prepare yourself for an eye-opening experience.

5. Do a class presentation on poverty

Stumped about what to do for a school assignment? Why not talk about the plight of the poor in your community. Do your research thoroughly. Get statistics on poverty, real stories from books and perhaps even video- or audiotaped interviews of the poor and homeless. Show the human face of poverty. Follow the presentation up with a class collection for the poor.

6. Don't just collect money

There are plenty of basic necessities that people have to meet. Some people can't afford new shoes. So hold a shoe drive (some teens have already done this). Others cannot afford clothing. Hold a clothing drive. Collect the material, arrange for cars, vans or trucks to transport it to where it's needed, then make sure the material is properly distributed.

7. Write about poverty in your school paper

Have you got a knack for writing? Then write about poverty in your school newspaper. Educate your student body not just with words, but photos too, if possible. If you've visited a poor part of the city, then you have plenty of material and personal material to write about.

8. Collect money in your group

After your next group meeting, pass around a box to collect donations for the poor and needy. Better yet, make this a weekly practice. Make one person responsible for collecting the money and sending it off after consulting everyone on which cause it should be sent for.

Donate For Children and Give Them Smiles...

India boasts of being a fast growing Asian country in terms of political, social and economical affairs. Nevertheless, the harsh fact is that, millions of children are still roaming around sans food sans home in this country. I recently visited one NGO who works for various underprivileged children. The efforts of the particular group to help underprivileged children all over the world sounded quite encouraging cum challenging to me The particular body runs through funds raised from various firms and organizations to sponsor a child in India as well as in the rest of the world. The facts and figures related by the counselor out there almost loaded my heart with compassion. No wonder, we are living in a world, which we called a ‘civilized world’. Yet the reality bite is that the world still needs to upload many changes in various fields. I further cannot convince myself that skyrocketing achievements in IT and other sectors represent the badge of civilization. We cannot be ignorant of the fact that millions of children are wandering around homeless, helpless and hopeless. This is a high time we start giving a thought over various social issues still prevailing in this nation. As an initiation step of such compassionate feeling, we can at least provide a mouse’s share to donate for children deprived from many biological and other requirements. A small share from our side is in fact going to help an underprivileged child smile. Dear friends, it is all about being little more humane, which is in fact the simplest act.
