In response to the third question, I believe that charity & the essence of volunteering should be instilled in children at a very young age. I have been doing charity ever since I can remember. My family has a non-profit organization & I couldn't see myself not being involved in helping others. Even small children can participate and play a small part in charity. These small efforts will become a part of this child & grow into bigger efforts as the child grows.
ReplyDeleteObviousy a family is key to easing the pain of others. I commend you and your family for establishing a non-profit organization. The work must be for a good cause and if you felt it appropriate you certainly could share that organization or website with everyone.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read your post I keep thinking of the saying"A trees fruit does not fall far from the tree from which it grew."
i believe that people should start as young as they possibly can because when i was younger i would see those commercials of starving children and i would give my mom money from my piggy bank to send everytime i saw the commercials even though i didnt quite understand why they were like that I just thought they looked very sad and I didnt like seeing people sad. I dont know why it would be a problem or even a topic of discussion when or why u would give to charity because i feel that it is very easy to take your last dollar and give it to someone else in need of it more
