Question: - Some people say that charity organizations are established to aid people who are in the greatest need of help/ no matter where they live. However some may argue that they should support their own country first. Discuss & state your opinion.

Ans:-It is often heard that the wheel of mankind is a journey because of the humanitarian push given by a select few. In today’s world which works on the fact “Man for himself” principle there still are people who believe in serving others without adulterating this noble feeling with selfishness.

It is a known fact that third world nations are engulfed by poverty, malnutrition, health problems and lack of education. The governments there are not well equipped and at times incapable of supporting even the basic needs of its citizens. This is where various N.G.Os and charitable organizations play a critical role in supplementing relief and support activities. Classic examples can be cited such as Bill Gates Foundation, Mother Teresa Foundation etc.

These organizations are working selflessly towards betterment of the under privileged, medically challenged and less fortunate children of God. Their areas of work are not restricted by location or breed or nation of the needy. It is in times of natural calamities like earthquakes tsunamis that the importance of charitable organizations gets highlighted. These institutes channel the efforts and contributions of people world over who are prepared to devote their share of charity towards the needy. Many individual Samaritans like Baba Amte, also in their own ways have redefined charity.

Charitable work cannot have regional political or racial boundaries. God’s helping hand reaches in the form of humanity to its distressed children. Every human being should contribute his best for charity, without being biased.
