DONATE YOUR SKILL NOT ONLY MONEY THAT MATTERS! Donating money has been the traditional way of extending help to a cause or people. There are people who don’t believe in charity work and all they understand is “some kind of money making org”, when NGOs call them for help. It’s not their fault, they just have not found the way or say organisations have not found the way to exploit their skills as a donation. For example, suppose an NGO wants to have an application dedicated to disaster management, but lacks the resources to build it. In this case, a group of developers can donate their skills in building this app. It’s not only money that matters, time spent with needy people has been equally important in this ever changing fast world of globalization.
LET’S CHANGE THE SCENE Imagine an India where people donate their skills in return of a satisfaction or a feeling of inner hunger fulfilling. What it is like to paint an old building with other budding persons . What it is like to clean a street filled with garbage. What it is like to get up early in the morning and teach Yoga to children. It is the feeling of ‘giving’ – there is no more powerful feeling than this. Human mind, I am not sure, it is a technical default or we have been trained like this to live either in the future or the past. We always miss the most important aspect of our lifetime – the passing by, present – it will not come back again. Helping someone gives us an instant positive feeling and it reminds us the greatness within ourselves in present.
