Everyday is a Fight to Survive

 



Cash, money, bank statements haven't we heard it all how sometimes, due to any crisis in the average household can lead to disbalance in the financial and flow of money in the home. Many people go through a financial crisis, and going through this stage is very typical. What if the person is not getting job satisfaction? What if the economy is failing? There could be many reasons?

According to a survey done in rural households, many children are forced to leave studying and concentrate on doing domestic chores to bring money to the house; this practice had been followed for many years. The educated class knows the importance of education and how education can have the most positive impact on our lives and help us understand society's functioning.

An NGO tries to bring a change to the needy, and running an NGO is just like running a family. Any financial crisis or irregularity in inflow of donations can force an NGO to shut down its doors. 

Let's be clear, anything that can create a shift in the society requires money. Requirements that can be in any form such as money, food, and even sponsored education are significant for how we as a family or NGOs function.

Why do we donate?

Consider a scenario where you are raising your family and what it would be like to raise a family other than any blood relation. To do this act, we all require money.

There are so many people who feel want to raise a family but cannot due to shortage of funds. An NGO collects funds from the people like us pools up the money, and try to help these helpless families; this donation can be monthly, yearly, or only once. 

The people working at NGOs deserve our respect. They are for donations not for personal use but to help build and improve society of which we are all part of.

Why family and NGOs are the same?

An NGO requires donation just like a family requires money to run. Under many uncertain situations, source of the money can disappear.  If the flow of income reduces in a typical average household, children can be forced to leave education and can be forced to start earning at a young age, doing odd jobs and practices. 

Similarly, if the funds from an NGO disappears, this might effect hundred of families at the receiving end of the NGOs work. 


A small part of Ur donation can help educate a child; a small amount of cash coming out of your pocket may help a child get a respectful job. Consider them as your family where you are spending thousands on a t-shirt or pants. Half of the amount can go towards an NGO that will help educate a child.

Always remember a donation doesn't mean an act of dominance over the minority. It is an act of being generous and shows how much you care about society. A contribution shall never be made out of show-off or even a semblance of thinking you are commanding or ruling that person.

You care about CSR; your Employees should too!

  In India, the term Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is widely prevalent. It tends to focus on what is done with the profits that the private businesses earn. It is an approach towards sustainable and equitable development and focuses on the triple bottom line of economic, environmental, and social performance. In recent years, companies have increasingly centered their CSR endeavors on creating opportunities for social welfare. Some companies might aim to provide free educational services to children, offer supplementary medical care, entrepreneurship skills to the rural population, and financial assistance to the needy. It might seem cumbersome to develop programs without a brisk return on investment that involves long-term investment, but such initiatives deserve significant attention from the companies. A firm now needs to focus on both: experiencing economic prosperity and being good corporate citizens . The organizations have enormous potential to effect change in t...

STAY STRONG INDIA!

Be it autism and intellectual disability in childhood, adult conditions such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and psychosis or dementia at old age, India is facing a challenge in terms of mental illness. It is no exaggeration to suggest that our country is under a mental health epidemic .   COVID-19 is already taking its toll on the world, causing deaths, illnesses, and economic despair. The Coronavirus has changed how we work, play, and learn. Schools are closed, social interaction is negligible and many people have been asked to work from home. Millions of people have filed for unemployment in the wake of stay-at-home mandates implemented to stop the virus’s spread. Millions of others who are still employed are now working at home, which brings its unique challenges.   The idea of not controlling an employee's time and not seeing them in the office daily feels like a loss of control and power, after all, remote working comes with its own set of difficulties...

BE THE VOICE FOR THE PAWS

  I n the national capital of India, a man was caught on CCTV attacking a dog outside his house.  In the state of Karnataka, a lady smashed 8 innocent puppies. 11 monkeys were brutally killed and dumped near a highway in Rajasthan.  A cow was run over and killed by a vehicle in Chhattisgarh. Wounded horses were used for marriage processions in Uttar Pradesh.  These are examples of some brutal and heinous atrocities against animals. Everyday there are many such cases. But a country which does not care much about murdering people, can never care enough about killing mute animals.    In March 2020, due to the COVID-19 lockdown, there were reports of sightings of various rare species of animals in the streets and on national highways. The absence of human movement and reduced pollution prompted them to roam freely. At the same time, many strays on the roads died due to lack of food and proper care. Just like humans are finding it difficult to survive ...
