If there is one thing that can separate human being from other animal species on Earth that would be elimination of Poverty.
Overcoming poverty is the first freedom that human beings would need to achieve if they have to enjoy other sorts of freedom modern society (supposedly) provides.
In absence of any other respective means, crime or politics seem to be the only way out of Poverty. This is reiterated today by Arvind Adiga, winner of Man Booker prize this year. Both the major forms of economy, communism and capitalism, aim to provide some sort of equality to all the people. One attempts to forcibly distribute the outcome while the other attempts to provide uniform opportunity for all.
So much has been said about the role of education to overcome poverty but it is a long process. And during this long process many will get crushed in poverty. It is very important that we as a Society should "Stand Up" against evils such as Poverty whatever the cause may be. Having been born in this modern era, every human being is entitled to live a respectable life.
Everywhere around the world, governments are trying to keep unemployment rates down but the cries of poor people almost always go unheard. Politicians try to manipulate numbers and statistics rather than genuinely work for the causes that would help the poor.
One of my goals is to build a home for those in distress, where everyone is welcome without any discrimination, where anyone can get their basic necessities of food, shelter and clothing fulfilled for a week and then further enter into a sustainable routine. I shall use all my resources to make this a reality and then duplicate this in as many places as possible. I urge all the readers to think about how they can contribute to eliminate poverty and stand up against it. Please leave your comment as a way to say that you would like "stand up" against poverty.
From this month, I am going to save minimum of 5% of my income towards this cause and would work few extra hours to increase this fund
Thanks for reading and contributing.
Hi Kiran
ReplyDeleteAppreciating the initiative to stand up against the poverty, i would like to join hands with you to make y(our) goal a reality. 90% of the people who want to do social service do not know how to start and where to start with. But according to me STARTing somewhere somehow is vital. You have the vision and also a plan.
I would rather like to keep my details undisclosed. I have your contact number. I will speak to you very soon about this initiative for a noble cause.

Hi Kiran,
ReplyDeleteAgree completely and we really need to do our bit. Other thing that I think we need to restart the collaborative blog of our class, that will help us gaing the tipping point for causes like these.
Cheers!
