I feel good when I am able to help others. But most of the time I do not have enough to share or I admit it, I am not too generous enough to share much. Sometimes I see tv programs which shows people and kids who really need financial help but I haven't experienced giving on those types of charities. I always wanted to bring some of our old clothes and toys on malls who accepts donations for flood victims but I always ended up giving my stuffs to my relatives who also need them. Do you feel or do the same?

I also feel good when I am able to help other. I signed up earlier this year for a charity that helps children who don't have the means and funds to go to school. It's called World Vision. I'm a child sponsor and I give donations quarterly to help my child. I am proud to be able to share my blessings with others who are less fortunate.

Wow, that's amazing. I once thought that anybody who does things like the one you do is maybe up to something. But as I have experienced, there is no better feeling when you know you are able to help others even on small ways. It will also be better to know if the one we are helping are being good persons who will help others as well. That means we have really done something to do some changes on that person. Thanks and continue spreading the good spirit of being generous.

I am not financially sound to help anyone. Whatever, I can spare for charity may not be enough to help other needy persons. So I try to help the people in some other ways. I try to get them some job so that they can earn their livelyhood. If I find a needy student who is good at studies but unable to study, I try to help him by providing him with some books form some place or someone who can give the books free of cost.
I think that helping others gives me immense pleasure but for me this help is not in the form of money only. There are means and ways to help people around you. Even the most wealthy person may be in need of some moral support. If someone can provide the same, that person would be greatful and would be happier than before.

You are right there. There are hundreds of ways anybody can do to be able to help others. Have you seen Bruce Almighty, the ARK, which mean an act of random kindness. I really felt that somehow we can make a difference in the lives of others when we do an act of random kindness. The good feeling it gives us is enough. Thanks and continue your charity works
