They Need You! | Vishwa Jagriti Mission | Let’s Give Back to Society

Posted on September 2, 2021 by Vishwa Jagriti Mission

They Need You!

For a county that successfully managed to reduce poverty to some extent from 2011 to 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 came as a big shock. The pandemic hit India in 2020 when the country’s economy was working hard to gain some strength. The pandemic broke it so much that its impact is still visible in the form of job losses and a rise in poverty.

Pew Research Center, using World Bank data, has estimated that the number of poor in India has more than doubled in just a year due to the pandemic-induced recession. The study shows that the number of poor individuals — with earning less than $2 (Rs. 150) or less in a day — in India increased from 6 crores to 13.4 crores.

Due to this rise, India is back in a situation to be called a ‘country of mass poverty’.

This setback poses big challenges for our country in terms of malnutrition, mass unemployment and extreme poverty.

Now the question is, are we doing something to help these individuals. Are we thinking about these people or we are just involved in fulfilling our own needs?

Let’s Give Back to Society

You can help them by taking a pledge to give back to the society through your small efforts. Great philanthropists all over the world have spoken a great deal about giving back to society. They have also addressed the benefits of giving selflessly. It’s not very difficult to do that if you have intent.

Here’s how you can do it.

1. Support Them- society

You can help an Organization make a difference and provide aid to the needy in order to lead a dignified life.

There are many organizations in India that run regular food camps and shelters for those who cannot afford two square meals daily or basic health facilities. You can donate to these organizations and support various causes. Even the smallest of donations can make a big difference in the lives of many. These organizations run highly cost-efficient social programs, which are able to use the value of every rupee towards helping the poor.

Your small donation can make a huge difference, enabling the needy feel a sense of hope, fulfilment, and persistence.

2. Your Time is Also Money

Further, one of the best ways of giving back to society is donating your time at a non-governmental organization, school for the underprivileged, children shelter homes, old-age homes, etc. Your time is precious and gifting it without any expectation can make a world of difference in the lives of many needy individuals and organizations in these tough times.

3. Support Children in Need

Help children in need by volunteering with orphanages whose aim is to help improve the lives of poor children who have no one of their own. You can also arrange food and stationery for such children.

According to the reports, there are over 2 crore orphans in India; more than the total population of Sri Lanka. And it’s difficult at this time to come up with a realistic count of how many children are orphaned due to the COVID-19.

Our country is already making an effort to help these children yet struggling to help all of them. Let’s do our part by supporting orphanages who are taking care of such kids.

4. Show them Some Love

Volunteering at your local old-age home is also one of the noblest ways to give back to society. Your small gifts, during the festive season or just a visit can help prevent the feeling of isolation and depression among them. The seniors appreciate every gesture of compassion and love extended towards them.

5. Do not forget to motivate your family & friends

Your enthusiasm for helping the poor can definitely pass on to your children. You can take your children on regular trips to various organizations, to make them realize the impact of small donations. It will inspire them to take part in social work and help those in need. Let them understand that donating a small chunk of your earning is a major mood-booster that is hugely empowering the less privileged.

Thus, while you go on with your life fulfilling your responsibilities towards family, do not forget the society in which you live. It’s everybody’s duty to help those who are at the receiving end and for them do whatever you can.

Remember, they need you to survive, just be available for them.

Come Forward, Help these Children of Destiny | Vishwa Jagriti Mission

Come Forward, Help these Children of Destiny

Life is all about transformation. In the case of children, Determination, Drive, Ambition and Support are some factors that bring positive transformation to their lives. Due to these factors, they become in life what they want to become.

But what if there is no support at all?

Such is the situation of orphans. They all are children of God, Children of Destiny, yet they lack a safe place to grow and basics like food, clothes, and access to education. This enhances the likelihood of them choosing the wrong path in life or getting caught in the wrong hands.

As aware members of society, we are capable to change their narrative from being vulnerable to able. We can easily help them transform their lives by supporting orphanages.

Let’s come forward and help these children of destiny.

Children are left in orphanages because their one or both parents are dead and their relatives or, sometimes, the widowed mothers cannot afford to take care of them. These widows and relatives put their trust in the orphanage to clothe, feed, and educate these children and provide them with support in life.

Most of these orphanages run on donations and charities. Donations are used for the well-being of these children, helping them to come out of poverty.

We can become a strong support for these orphanages.

How? There are many ways!

1. Be Generous & Give Aid

Do some research and you’ll find many orphanages are running in your vicinity as well supporting hundreds and thousands of orphans. Give aid to these orphanages as they genuinely intend to take care of the orphans. Your generosity will have a greater impact on the lives of these children.

Your humble contribution can clothe many orphans, feed orphanages for weeks and months, give treatment to sick children, provide opportunities for children to receive education, boost the morale of social service organizations running orphanages and also put those widowed mothers at ease who worry about their children.

But before giving, make sure your money be spent wisely towards improving the condition of a needy child.

Also understand that without your contribution, these orphanages wouldn’t be able to help as many orphans in need as they are doing or at least, trying to do.

Therefore, think wisely and donate.

2. Be Kind and Donate Goods

An amazing way to help orphans out is to donate goods to the orphanage. You may offer new or second-hand clothes, stationery, books, hygiene products, toys, indoor games, old gaming consoles, old mobile phones, etc.

Some more useful items that can be arranged for orphanages could be COVID-19 care PPE equipment, masks, hand sanitizer, shoes, socks, school bags, raincoats, sports equipment like bat-ball, badminton rackets, footballs, etc.

3. Raise Awareness and Motivate Others to be a Helping Hand

According to reports, there are over 2 crore orphans in India; it is more than the population of Sri Lanka.

Also, according to 2021 reports, as many as 30,071 children were orphaned, lost one parent or abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic as per data submitted by different states till June 5.

It’s necessary to understand the ground reality of the situation and take efforts to support those social service organizations that take care of these children of God.

So, stay aware of the issues faced by orphans close to your home and far away. Tell your friends, family, colleagues, and others about the issue and motivate them to come forward for their help.

You might, for instance, tell your own children that there are children in your city without books to read or toys to play with and encourage them to donate some of their stationery items or indoor games to an orphanage that will benefit these children.

You may also use social media to spread the plight of orphans and for supporting fundraising programs and social initiatives.

There are many ways to help, all you need is intent.

Therefore, be socially responsible and donate to orphanages that are doing great work open-handedly. Help to provide the orphaned children with necessities like food, shelter, education, and healthcare. Most of the times, these orphanages struggle to continue their work. Help them with your kind efforts and support these children of God.

The best things to donate | vishwa Jagriti Mission

The best things to donate

Every season is a wonderful season of giving if you have a kind heart. We should give not just to our loved ones, but to the needy as well who we don’t know, who we’ll never see. When you give something to the underprivileged and marginalized people, they keep you in their prayers that always benefits you.

Moreover, for donating you don’t need to be a rich philanthropist. Anyone can donate if he or she has a kind heart. It’s an amazing feeling that gives rise to a sense of satisfaction.

And in case you are thinking about what all you can give to make the needy happy, there are many articles you can donate other than food, clothing, and money.

All you need to do is a little research in order to find the right social service organization that will accept what you want to give.

Medicines

You can donate medicines that are not of your use. They can heal someone and even give life. For example, if you have recently recovered from COVID-19 and have surplus useful medicines at home, support initiatives that seek medicines.

Many volunteer-run organizations collect medicines in their city. Know about them and donate.

Shoes, Socks & Bags

Shoes and bags are also nice items to donate. This will benefit many people—especially school-going poor children. And instead of throwing your old socks in the garbage bin, just wash them and donate them to some orphanage. They are yet another crucial item that many people can use. And if you have school backpacks or old luggage, they can also be donated.

Kitchen Utensils

Another nice thing to give to the needy is various utensils including plates, bowls, teaspoons, tablespoons, pans, serving trays, and pots.

Many social service organizations runs free food donation drives and some even run kitchens for poor people, you can donate utensils to them to ease their work.

So, if you’re thinking about getting some new utensils, donate your old ones first!

Games & Toys

Toys and games are also great items to donate. For example, there are many poor children in our country who don’t even know about puzzle games.

If you have some at your home, donate them so that poor children also understand how to use imagination for passing time in a creative way.

You can donate your old toys to children’s hospitals, orphanages, and daycare centers.

Hygiene products

Never forget how important donating hygiene items are. They are incredibly important to different shelters, old-age homes, schools for poor children, and orphanages. If you have some such products that you don’t use but which are still fresh, donate them.

Shampoo, Deodorant, Toothpaste and toothbrush, sanitary pads, soaps, Band-Aids, and Diapers are some of the nice items worth donating.

Old Furniture, Yes, why not!

If you have small coffee tables, old beds, benches, dining tables, rocking chairs, and things like and they are in good condition, give them to some old age home, orphanages or schools.

Once you go through your home and figure out what exactly you can donate, turn to GreenDrop for your donation pick-up or drop-off services. We partner with charities such as the Red Cross, Purple Heart, the National Federation of the Blind, and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. We will turn tour donations into monetary donations that will greatly aid these charities. Donate now!

Why People Donate Time & Money | Vishwa Jagriti Mission

Posted on July 21, 2021 by Vishwa Jagriti Mission

Why People Donate Time & Money

Many of us might be living in a healthy family, but this is a sad truth, we cannot say that we are living in a healthy society. Why? Since our society is a mixture of ‘Haves and Have Nots’.

And it would be difficult to imagine a healthy society without those who at least intend to improve its condition through their generosity. And that’s why the power of giving and donation finds mention in the works of great people, leaders, and thinkers.

Further, many people give back to society due to personal reasons. Here are some of the reasons why people love their generosity and donate their time, money and also, sentiments.

A Sense of Overall Happiness

If you are involved in charitable causes believe that you are helping many social service organizations. They make a big difference to the lives of the poor, hungry, and the needy.

There are various studies showing people who donate to charity find themselves having an overall improved sense of happiness and satisfaction. Even a meager amount makes a big impact.

Vishwa Jagriti Mission runs various cost-efficient social programs for helping the marginalized. And many people enthusiastically take part in them to feel happy.

Further, this is a harsh truth that while our country is seeing rising incomes and a better lifestyle, that has been matched with growing income inequality and helplessness, especially amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In such times, the generosity of kind-hearted souls enables deprived people to feel a sense of hope and security.

This is also one of the key reasons why millions of people donate a small amount from their income regularly to support causes they believe in.

A Sense of Moral duty

Giving to charity also boosts personal values. It is believed that a feeling of social conscience is also one of the top reasons to donate money, material or time to any charitable organization.

Every year, hundreds of volunteers join Vishwa Jagriti Mission with a feeling to serve the poor and sick individuals. When asked, why they want to volunteer, about 60% cite ‘moral duty’ as a reason. They feel it’s their duty to use what they have to help and support others.

This sentiment is very much rooted in their personal values. It helps those who are marginalized, who cannot afford a simple meal for their family, and who are suffering due to lack of medical attention and medicines.

These volunteers act on a powerful feeling of responsibility and feel like they are living in a way that is true to their own beliefs which is beneficial for society as well.

A Sense of Good Parenting

Yes, this is also a great reason for many to donate. Through their humble efforts, many parents introduce their children to the importance of generosity for living a good life. Sharing the feeling of charity with kids shows innocent souls from a young age how they can make positive changes in their surroundings through small acts of kindness.

Also, it is in the nature of children to help others. Taking part in charitable causes nurtures their innate generosity and they grow up with a greater appreciation of what they have while having a better perspective of social realities.

That’s why many families have created a ‘Social Cause Box’ in their homes- like a Piggy Bank. In it all family members contribute including children. This is how these parents are inculcating the virtue of generosity in their children, which turns them into responsible adults eventually.

A Sense of Spreading Love

Right now, a large part of our society is becoming a victim of materialism. A majority of people are involved in fulfilling their own desires. They don’t care about others. They want to have good food, luxurious life, and personal well-being only. This is unfair. Man is a social animal and so it’s his duty to give it back to society.

A lot of people are craving love right now. It is an emotion that society severely lacks nowadays. And so many people take part in charitable causes to prove that love for mankind, love for others still exists. By taking care of others, they show that humanity is still present.

Every day, many good souls give a visit to Vishwa Jagriti Mission’s Old Age Homes. They donate their time and say they want to do it just for spreading love and make our older generations feel that they are not alone in their fight.

They also say, one day we will also grow old and we would expect our younger generations to give us a visit if we start living in an Old Age Home.

So, different people have different reasons to donate their time, money, and sentiments.

What’s yours?

Top 5 Ideas for Changing Lives | Vishwa Jagriti Mission

Posted on July 14, 2021 by Vishwa Jagriti Mission

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

― Lord Buddha

Top 5 Ideas for Changing Lives

There is a global need to help and serve the needy but why? Not everyone is privileged in this world and there is a widespread unequal distribution of wealth. There are people who flourish and there are those who lack even the basic amenities of life including food.

Serving them by giving them some money or even moral support helps them to deal with the challenges of daily life effectively. When you lend a hand to the needy it makes them feel contented and secure and this is how you can change their lives for good.

By helping others, you make this world a better place to live for all. You are liked by others and people would seek your company. Giving earns you blessings of God and society and above all you gain a feeling of inner satisfaction.

Many studies suggest that ‘Giving is Healthy’. The gesture of giving improves the quality of life of individuals because it brings happiness and joy. Even a small contribution can help people to afford basic requirements like a shelter to live in, clothes to wear, and food to eat. The noble endeavor is simply one of the greatest achievements of life.

There could be many ways of helping others but here are the top 5 ideas using which you could change the lives of the impoverished and needy people.

1. Let’s Feed

According to the latest national statistics, more than 19 Crore people in India sleep hungry every day. This is a sad state of affairs. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) says, 33% of the food produced worldwide never actually reaches the plates of those who need it.

Moreover, the ongoing pandemic has led to the loss of jobs of millions who are temporary workers dependent on daily wages. Right now, they are unable to provide even one square meal to their families. Let’s support the organizations that help feed the hungry and provide other essentials to those in need. We can even give to those in need directly but nonprofit organizations are able to reach a wider population in need due to their greater outreach.

COVID-19 is definitely a fatal epidemic, but let’s keep in mind that hunger may turn into even a more dangerous and bigger epidemic if appropriate actions are not taken by those who have more than enough food in their kitchen.

2. Providing Opportunities & Moral support

Let’s give the poor and needy moral support by showing empathy and respect towards them. Such a gesture makes them aware that someone cares about them. If you are well-off, you may provide them with opportunities in your offices and factories to improve their condition. Obviously, this will boost their self-esteem too.

These days there is no great service to humanity than sponsoring the education of underprivileged children who have lost their parents due to COVID-19. You can help them in overcoming barriers they face every day in order to study in a school or a Gurukul. Help them discover their own capabilities so that they can use them in the right place. Providing the right guidance can also be a valuable charity in this world of today where others tend to mislead the vulnerable.

3. Offer Financial Assistance

You can help needy people monetarily as well. Providing financial help can help the poor solve their basic problems of living. You can associate with reputed charity organizations and NGOs and donate money to ensure that your gift of compassion reaches the rightful receiver.

In this digital age, you can support the fundraisers initiated by verified organizations on social media platforms. You can also help in creating awareness in your community or even the global society through the worldwide web using ethical strategies.

4. Be a Part of Drives or Start One

Collection drives are also a great way to help the needy. You may start collection drives for clothes, food, stationery, books, medicines, masks, and other necessities to help the underprivileged people. Organize such drives in NGOs, Hospitals, schools, offices, or locality with the permission of the concerned people. It is one of the easiest ways to help the needy.

Get in touch with the organizations working for the social causes, know what they need and then organize a collection drive at a place of your choice.

Unfortunately, in these Covid-19 days, you must be extra careful with collection drives and must follow all the safety protocols in your area.

5. Volunteer

It is not necessary to donate money and resources always. Volunteering skills and time are also a great social service. You can teach children, spend some time at orphanages, assist the blind and visually impaired, spend time with deaf and dumb children, and also at old age homes. You may also volunteer as a caller on the phone or virtual helplines providing support to the needy. For this you may require special skills and you will have to connect with the organizations operating the virtual support services. Your smallest efforts count and they have the power to bring happiness to the life of the less privileged.

So, let’s understand the needs and requirements of deprived people and help them overcome the adversities. Remember to serve with love and respect the dignity of those at the receiving end. As privileged members of society, we must help them in any possible manner to the best of our capacity and capability. Your acts of kindness can change the lives of others and leave a positive imprint in their hearts. So, be the first one to take that first step in this noble direction and attract Divine blessings. Every religion in this world supports and promotes charity and in Hinduism, ‘Sewa’ (serving others selflessly) is regarded as ‘Supreme Devotion’

Giving is Healthy! | Vishwa Jagriti Mission

Posted on June 1, 2021 by Vishwa Jagriti Mission

Your instant urge of giving something to someone may seem ‘insignificant,’ yet its impact is way more beneficial and healthy than you think. When you give a life-saving mask, for example, to someone who cannot afford it, this simple activity could be the make or break for someone who lives and sleeps on the road. There could be incredible outcomes when you donate oxygen concentrator to a chosen hospital, or donate money to a social service organization or even when you donate your time by volunteering for noble pursuits.

Such small charitable acts foster a HEALTHIER you and that should be enough of a reason to GIVE!

In fact, nowadays there is a trend to be healthy through being virtuous and generous. People are donating to aid organizations and charities in order to gain a good health. The health benefits range from a surge in happiness hormones to improved self-worth to a significant cut in the risk of depression.

Let’s have a look at the healthy outcomes of ‘Giving’.

The Surge in Happiness Hormones

We take different efforts to cut the stress level. We get involved in creative activities, listen to music or take a nature walk. Such activities help in the release of happiness hormones and that reduce our stress. Any act of giving also has a soothing effect on the mind which is the result of a surge in happiness hormones. When we donate, we feel satisfied leading to Dopamine release. It makes us happy and excited. When we build a bond with strangers who we meet while doing something for them, Oxytocin is released. These are happiness hormones making a human body feel rejuvenated brimming with good health and shine.

Now a lot of people are reducing stress by tackling the problems of strangers. Moreover, when you think of helping someone you focus your mind on something other than your own problems, for some time. This helps with renewed energy level leading to happiness. And therefore, those who volunteer are way happier than those who don’t.

Boost in Self-Esteem

One of the best health benefits of giving is ‘improved’ self-esteem. Everyone knows that donating is a selfless activity, as here we are focusing on helping others who are in need. It bestows a great sense of personal satisfaction. When you donate food to a social service organization or arrange life-saving machines to help COVID-19 patients, you’re offering much-needed resources for a noble cause.

Such offering of help to others often results in self-help with a boost in self-esteem. Everyone knows that cultivating self-esteem can be unexpectedly tough but offering help to someone is one of the smart ways to achieve that. And when our self-esteem is up, we not only feel better about ourselves, we are more powerful and healthy as well.

Makes you Optimistic

The wonderful cloud of great results you receive from giving also leads to a profound feeling of OPTIMISM. With great self-esteem comes a more optimistic mind. Giving has a positive impact on both the mind and the body. When you do hard work, it stimulates the brain to release hormones causing happiness and joy, making you optimistic.

Likewise, when you give something to someone with the help of your hard-earned money, it makes you even happier and you develop an optimistic approach to life and work.
