3rd Assignment: Philanthropic Activities

Using energy, talent, resources, money, or possession to help and do good to those who are down on their luck is the meaning of Philanthropy. Every religion of the world recommend it to their congregation. Then, if we want to be philanthropist, who should we give our help for? Many people in this world worth it. Such as starving people, abused victims, disaster victims, and homeless people. We can do many thing to help homeless people if we want to. Even as a mere students there are at least three actions to help them

First, we can propose the development of low price flats on certain location to the labor department. With the existence of the flats many people doesn't have to sleep on the street or under the bridges. And for the flats, they can pay it little by little so it won't be really hard for them to rent it.

Second, by collecting money from the benefactors to help the build of those flats or help those homeless people directly. A little money from us giving a big help for them. From our money they can sleep in a better bed and warmer place. Far from the dirt of the street and the cold of the night.

Third, give directions to the homeless people to stay at the flats. With that much effort we gave into the flats development, if they don't know or want to stay there, it will be waste. We can show them the advantages of the flats and suggest them to use it. Because sometimes there are stubborn people who think that live in the flats only wasting their money eventhough in fact it's not true.

To conclude, it's not difficult to be philanthropist and help those who need, especially homeless people. Because where there is a will there is a way. And as the base, we should open our eyes and realize that they need us.
