The Quran discourages Christianity and tells its followers to kill those who do not believe the same as them. Not all Muslims are extremists but the love of God has no boundaries it is currently at work all over the globe through us. Matthew 28:19-20 says Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.

If someone goes shopping and spends hundreds of dollars on items and don’t donate, that says something about who they are as a person. While shopping a constant reminder is right there. A sad, innocent, starving, child stares up begging for someone to help. While the shopper may be well-off or struggling to put groceries on the table for their family, they then realize that there is someone out there who has it much worse. Shoppers who may not be very eager to donate begin to see how ignoring this world problem makes reflects on them as a person.
At the time, individual back-to-school events were providing supplies for students every year but the lack of resources and planning were creating difficulties for the organizers. Noticing this fact, a catholic charity worker came up with the idea to pull together all the resources each individual organizers had and buy supplies in bulk to increase efficiency. With the belief that education is the key solution to ending the poverty cycle, the organizers eventually opened their first event to the public in 2005. The event is privately funded by sponsorship, grants from foundations and private donations. It is also entirely run by volunteers and has served 100,000 students since the first event.
“I used to be afraid of failing at something that really mattered to me, but now I’m afraid of succeeding at things that don’t matter.” This is a quote from Bob Goff who has done tremendous things to not only help his community but the world. He has worked on changing the world through the organizations he founded. Bob Goff started a non-profit organization and donates large sums of money to another charitable organizations. Bob Goff has made an impact through his organizations, his philanthropy, and how he spreads his ideas.
One article that demonstrates the significance of helping those less fortunate is Andrew Carnegie's The Gospel of Wealth. In spite of his disapproval of contributing directly to the poor out of concern about financial mismanagement, Carnegie is trying to convey a common message. We must give in order to better our society. One quote that shows this ideal is ¨In bestowing charity, the main consideration should be to help those who will help themselves; to provide part of the means which by those who desire to improve may do so; to give those who desire to rise the aids by which they may rise ; to assist, but rarely or never to do all.¨(Carnegie Paragraph 2). Some articles like LifeBoat Ethics by Garret Hardin state that giving is not needed and it wont make a difference.
Australia Day is one of the most unique national day’s in the world throughout history, celebrating the day of when our ancestors first arrived on the borders of Australia, in 1788. Rather than unite people as one whole though, the spirited outcome of this event isn’t what as anticipated by everyone and has divided the Australian society for good. And so it should be held at an alternative date, where Australian citizens feel worthy of their identity and not cheated by it. However, the celebration shouldn’t be adapted to like that of other commemorations like ANZAC day. Essentially, this day will always be a tragic memory for the indigenous and be viewed as the invasion of their homeland.
Frederick Buechner once said, “Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin.” Similarly, an author by the name of Barbara Lazear Ascher wrote an essay called “On Compassion,” in which she states that people learn about compassion when they experience hardships and begin to put oneself in another’s place. Along with the idea of compassion being learned, Ascher also tries to make us wonder what our motive is that leads us to being compassionate. Ascher tries to make us question why we feel the need to be compassionate towards others throughout her essay.
They go by that saying and help many children receive toys for Christmas. They helped many children in Rockaway Beach in Queens New York that were affected by the destruction from Hurricane Sandy, many of the children wouldn’t have Christmas presents due to the destruction and their parents wouldn’t have enough money to get them the presents that they wanted. The people that came up with the idea to help those children were Dominick and Kevin. Dominick is a jazz trumpet player and Kevin is a monster truck driver. Though they were very different, both of them came together and made those kids dreams come true in having a wonderful Christmas.
Peter Singer himself writes, “We can give to organizations like Unicef or Oxfam America” (Singer, 737). If the wealthy people were to help the poor out, there is no reason to bother in using children of the poor to feed the wealthy. The money that will be provided can go into making shelters in which those children can live happily. There is no reason for those who do not trust organizations, to be selfish. They themselves can create their own organization, give children shelters and their parents a job as well.
Have you ever blown out the candle on your birthday cake and wished for something you really wanted? Chances are, you have. The day after your birthday you probably looked around for it, but it was not there. Then you probably got sad and wanted to cry that whole day. That’s why I would like to use the $250 to make T-shirts to sell.
After countless hours of baking, my group and I were able to raise $1250 which we used to purchase basketball hoops, plates, beds, silverware, cups, schooling for the children, and uniforms. Although we were not able to directly deliver these goods to the family ourselves, we were able to see pictures that were equally rewarding. Their faces and gratitude made the many nights of little sleep well worth
Although most of my involvement has centered around politics, where I have been an active volunteer in the current election cycle, my service also extends to the homeless community in the Quad Cities. After recognizing the extent of homelessness in Davenport, my friend decided to start a nonprofit 5K to benefit a local shelter and I immediately joined in the venture. By working with the shelter rather than independently, we were able to avoid the faults set forth in To Hell With Good Intentions. Our good intentions have donated over $10,000 to King’s Harvest Ministries, who uses funds in a way that raises the standard of living for the local homeless
Our group has decided to volunteer with Feed My Starving Children(FMSC) which was founded in 1987. Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) is a Christian non-profit organization that provides nutritionally complete meals specifically formulated for malnourished children. Its mission is to feed God’s starving children in different countries who are hungry in body and spirit. Their process is simple. Donations from people fund the meal ingredients and volunteers hand-pack the meals.
While we have accomplished many things to help our clients, there is still more we can do. December 1st is #GivingTuesday, a global campaign bringing people across the world together on a single day to take action in support of those in need in their communities. It is and opportunity to help those less fortunate.
Christmas plays a huge role in every kid’s childhood, but not every kid is fortunate enough to have one. No matter what situation my family has been in I was always fortunate to wake up Christmas morning to gift under the tree, but now I understand that Christmas is not about what you get, but about what you are able to give back. To play a part in something as beautiful as in helping a kid have a better childhood really touched my heart and helped me see past the material things in life. Often people take for granted that they have gifts under the tree, or the luxury of having an iPhone, or nice clothes, but never stop to realize that there are people in the same community that don’t even have the luxury of waking up to a hot meal or clean clothes to wear. I can see, that a small personal gift under the tree can bring joy to a kid’s life, but it is also much more.
