By participating in volunteering organizations, we are experiencing a good sense of fulfillment and happiness in helping others even with unpaid compensation. Here you will also identify people with good intentions and people with selfish intentions.
Why are so many charity organizations asking for additional support to other people? To share with others the good feeling of helping our fellow men in need. To increase the awareness of unity. And for additional monetary support that will help meet the needs.
When I entered an organization for community service, it was not free. You need to pay annual dues. And I understand that it goes to service projects with great impact and changes in the lives of the needy people.
For me, it is mutual benefit. You make yourself and people happy, imagine the kids that scarce in luxuries of life. Who smiled at you and cheerfully eat the food you prepared, played the toys you gave and those small arms that warmly hugging you appreciating the things and love that was being shared with them.
Those elderly people who live in the Home for the Ages, who are left by their own family and others have none anymore. Visiting is enough for them even you’re not related.
But what’s the reason why I lost my appetite in an organization whose members are mostly businessmen. Okay, let me tell you about this. You are a member of a non-government organization that helps people who are extremely poor or with children or adults who need more support. And then, being a member, you need to pay for annual dues – being a volunteer and paying annual dues? – But that’s ok, because you know that these money goes to noble projects – needed to work for paper works and many stuff that is annoying to do before you could get a grant (if you know some people inside the committee much better and faster approval, huh!) .
Social gathering, so nice. You meet the different types of people who are successful in
their respective professions. Social gathering, so nice. You meet the different types of people who are successful in their respective professions. Talking about business, what field you are, projects of your club and so on and so forth. These social gatherings usually held at 4-5 star hotels or if not, restaurants or convention centers. Wherever it is, you need to pay. How much? You will be amazed that if you do the math, it costs sometimes more than how much each club spend for a noble project.
And I keep thinking, luxuries are okay, but most of the time, I don’t know if it’s a win-win situation for the both. I guess it’s a more win situation for the establishments that gets money from these social gatherings for charity or noble works. Most of the time, people are paying more to special events and for the dress they will wear than how much they contribute or donate for service projects.
