They Need our Love, Care & Support

They Need our Love, Care & Support 

The notion of family and the presence of love in it are wonderful gifts from God. Love brings hope with it and it gives the courage to deal with challenges in life. And a family plays a powerful role in the overall growth of a child. But what about those children who have to live without any family? 

These children are at risk since they have lost one or both parents to violence, sickness, age, or some other tragic incidence. Their future depends only on their willpower and survival instinct. In a few cases, orphaned kids find support from shelter homes, but a majority of them end up living on the streets and facing unimaginable tragedies. These children need our love, care, and support. Can we do something for them? Is adoption the only way?

In fact, there could be many ways to provide these kids with support (other than adoption).

You May Sponsor, Volunteer and Donate Your Time

Adoption is certainly not the only way to help vulnerable children; sponsorship is also one of the ways. Families can sponsor orphans making it possible for them to receive clothing, food, medical care, education, and other essential amenities.  

Moreover, many social service organizations are working in India for this purpose. Search for volunteer opportunities with them. You can help them by giving professional advice regarding outreach activities, donation events, or by donating your time for some administrative work in their offices. Many child care institutions do not have a sufficient number of caregivers. You may work for them with VJM Balkalyan Yojana.

Protect Kids From Harm or Teach Them

Children are meant to be at school and not on the streets. Ensure that their rights are respected in your area and they don’t get involved in child labor. You can empower the marginalized kids through workshops so that they can raise their voice against harassment and abuse.

You can also help children acquire understanding about their learning skills because it is true that even the most marginalized girls and boys can learn if provided with the opportunity. You may help them reach organizations that provide early and basic education for street children.

Offer Monetary Help, If You Can

Social service organizations are often in need of money to carry out different welfare programs for such children. You can donate one-time money or offer donations on a yearly basis. You may also direct your money to a particular area of need, such as food, medical care or education. Look out for charities helping orphans in India, you will get many, but be cautious.

When donating directly to institutions stay alert and verify astutely how your donation will be used. Trustworthy organizations take good care of children and hold their orphanages accountable. Donate to one of such institutions for the real impact.

Ask Your Friends and Relatives to Involve in Caring Activities

There is no problem if you are unable to save money for donations. There are still other ways you can bring a difference to the life of needy children. Talk to your family, friends, and colleagues, and tell them that you want to help orphans. You may motivate them to take part in initiatives for helping them. Any meager help through you can change the life of a helpless child.

Vishwa Jagriti Mission and Care for Kids

Vishwa Jagriti Mission (VJM), under the guidance of HH Sudhanshuji Maharaj and Dr. Archika Didi, has adopted many vulnerable kids as they are the ‘Children of God’ (Devdoot)

It is our supreme duty to share whatever we have in the form of food, education, and clothing and let them live a simple yet good life.

VJM is running a public school in Jharkhand’s violence-prone region, Khunti to teach tribal children whose lives have been devastated due to conflicts. Many children are getting prepared here to lead a decent life through a good education.

In Surat (Gujarat) and Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh), VJM runs ‘Devdoot Bal Ashram’ to ensure comfort and care for vulnerable kids. Here, they get free food, housing, and education. Now children from this Ashram are excelling in the fields of education and sports. This proves the importance of ‘support’ in the life of marginalized children.

Furthermore, in Faridabad, VJM’s Gyandeep School is teaching underprivileged children, many of whom were collecting garbage earlier. They get education, food, and housing for free here.

Final Thoughts

Remember, children living without any family are actually hanging by a thin thread and need small support to become a good citizen.  If you can, offer your love, care, and support for such children. Support organizations that are working for them, teach such children, or motivate fellow men to offer help to them. They are ‘Children of God’ and they deserve a civilized life.

Top 5 Reasons to Give What You Have | Vishwa Jagriti Mission

Top 5 Reasons to Give What You Have

‘ When you learn, teach. When you get, give.’ 

Maya Angelou

For the majority of mankind, winters mean putting on beautiful woolen clothes, lying in warm rooms, and having hot beverages. But for people on the streets, it’s a constant fight with the ruthless weather and a brutal question of survival.

Unsurprisingly, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD)’s recent data reflects a nerve-wracking trend. It shows that cold waves killed more Indians than heatwaves since 1980. Moreover, according to IMD, many North Indian cities, including Delhi, are continually witnessing ‘severe cold’ days as the minimum temperature sometimes drops to 4 degrees Celsius. Certainly, the coming few days (Dec-Jan) would be really struggling for a large number of street dwellers.

Can we do something about it? 

We usually say that hundreds and thousands of people die of cold every year, but we don’t understand that they die because they don’t have blankets and woolen clothes. 

Needless to say that we can bring a difference in their life effortlessly.

We can offer blankets directly to the needy by visiting their area or shelter homes (night shelters) or we can consult the organizations that are involved in social work. Giving in itself is a divine virtue and it ultimately leads to many nice outcomes.

Top Five Reasons to Give

  1. The Small Gesture of ‘Giving’ Has a Big Impact

While discussing the sufferings of the underprivileged, many people feel profound sorrow and think that there is nothing we can do about the situation as we are not rich. 

But here, you don’t need to be a millionaire to make a significant difference in someone’s life. 

Search and you will find many opportunities wherein you can offer a meager amount and offer help to someone who is struggling to survive during the winter season.

  1. 1.Giving Can Save Lives

Winter mortality is a problem that can be easily solved through warm blankets. Timely interventions can break the cycle of winter deaths. 

You can buy blankets yourself and distribute them among the needy or you may share your warmth through the organizations that run drives to help the people on the streets.

Your small offering can really save someone’s life.

  1. Giving Brings Happiness

Giving to others is directly linked with an increased sense of contentment and happiness. Many kinds of research have proved that. 

Experience the pleasure of giving by seeing your money being utilized for a noble cause.

  1. Let’s Make a Healthy World for All 

There is no better gift than offering blankets to the needy during the harsh winter season. Millions of street dwellers experience the bitterness of winter and fall sick. This year, a pandemic has made their situation even more challenging.

A simple blanket can keep them healthy all through the season and this is the right time to serve humanity by donating blankets. 

There cannot be a bigger satisfaction than ensuring good health for those who really need care.

  1. Realize That You Care

Life can get really busy sometimes and we forget to show our gratitude for everything given to us by the Almighty. 

Moreover, due to various indulgences, we hardly get a chance to experience our own caring spirit.

So, whenever you get a chance, just give and see how rewarding it is for you.
