Again, Foolproof, still Dunno the moduleAnd being charitable is good for you:
Charitable people are usually happier than uncharitable people.
That's a scientific fact! - answer Doing for others is linked to;
better health
greater self-confidence
improved life satisfaction
Making it through your own difficult times is easier when you are helping others. It takes
the focus off your problems.
An Impressive Title:
Being charitable gives you an impressive title too: You're a "philanthropist!"
You often hear of rich philanthropists, like Bill and Melinda Gates of the Gates
Foundation. But being rich doesn't make you a philanthropist. You are a philanthropist if:
- answer You are charitable person.
You do good deeds.
You don't have to be rich to be a philanthropist or to be charitable.
You don't have to be old either. – answer FUND afield is an organization that works to
provide soccer fields and equipment for African schools and communities.
A Charity Doesn't Have To Be International:
Organizations like the YMCA or Girl Scouts are nationwide charitable organizations.
They always need volunteers. - answer Charities don't have to tackle issues on a huge
scale either. You can do it yourself, in your own hometown!
Working with your friends to raise money for a single project in a small area is charitable
work. - answer Someone in your community is ill and can't fix up their home.
You and your friends decide to clean it up and repaint it.
Bingo, a great project. You helped someone!
Or, say you live near a refuge center for families from a war-torn country.
The kids have no bikes. - answer You found a charitable company to recycle and repair
old bikes just for that one center. Bingo! You're the founder of a charitable project!
, You don't have to be the founder of a charity to be a charitable person. Charities also
need volunteers and money! - answer There are charities right where you live that help
feed hungry people.
There are charities that care about animal rights and helping kids go to college.
And what about issues like recycling, clean water or power conservation?
There are millions of charities in the United States alone. A lot of us are great about
volunteering. - answerEach year around 300 billion dollars are donated to charities.
Each year 100 million people in the U.S. donate an estimated three hours per week to
help a charitable cause.
That works out to about 7.5 million full-time volunteers that help a good cause. Nice!
(Gallup Poll) And young people donate many of those hours!
Remember the young people who founded and run FUNDaFIELD and Free the
Children? - answerThese young people had to learn a lot about business for their
charity to succeed.
Craig Kielburger and his team of young people manage thousands of volunteers and
large amounts of donations at Free The Children.
Running some charities may require as many skills as running any big international
company!
And did you also get this about both charities? - answerYou can make a career of doing
good deeds.
Millions of people in the United States work in charitable organizations.
Many young people decide to work for businesses that do good rather than work for
businesses that primarily just make money.
You head to the most popular restaurant in town and chow down! - answerOops. You
and your pals come down with a deadly food poisoning.
Restaurants don't have safety inspections anymore, since you stopped taxes.
This restaurant was filthy in the kitchen.
No one knew that, since there was no inspection.
You and your friend head to the drug store to get some stomach medicine. - answerThe
friend has an allergic reaction to the medicine, and nearly dies.
There were no warnings on the medicine.
Safety oversight with drugs is paid for by taxes.
You head to the hospital emergency room. - answerOops. There isn't one.
In most cities, emergency rooms are supported by taxes.
You decide to do some research on taxes and head to the library. - answerOops. There
aren't any public libraries.
And there's no community college - a place where you can go to school for few bucks.
And no state university.
