Charity. How to start helping

Orphans

The main rule of assistance to orphans: I do not give them things. Most boarding schools grow up with the idea that things bring nothing. These children do not know how to appreciate the things they do not know what it takes to make money, and as a result become a dependent society.

Orphans need to be preparing for an independent adult and responsible life and the emotions that they do not receive due to lack of relatives.

Check your schedule a couple of hours, just come to the children and become in their eyes, an adult who can show them how the world works, who will teach their communication and relationships between people. For them it will be much more useful than a New Year's gift.

Homeless

The worst time of year for homeless people - from October to March. During this period, many literally freeze to death on the street or disabled. Write down the phone numbers of homeless assistance services in your city, in the cold season, they organize items warmers for the homeless. Seeing the poor man on the street freezing, just dial the number, ask the closest heat, and take the homeless there.

Remember: fuzzy speech and poor coordination in space is not always the result of intoxication, it is also strong signs of hypothermia. So the homeless should immediately call an ambulance.

If every day you see a homeless person on the way to work - buy him a cup of tea, or a hot sandwich.

Alco and Drug Addiction

Alcoholism and drug addiction - a disease, not a vice, and people who suffer from them need skilled care professionals.

Often, these people just need to talk to someone. Select a half-hour time to communicate with the person and tell him about the centers for "Alcoholics Anonymous" and "Narcotics Anonymous." By the way, these organizations can help, too, because they exist by charitable donations.

People with disabilities

In dealing with such people do not communicate with them as disabled. Communicate with them as equal human beings. If your interlocutor is blind - to warn him of the step, or waste, if the person hard of hearing - say so that he could clearly see your face and facial expressions. Thus, you do not discriminating them, but on the contrary, show that you care their situation. If you speak with a person in a wheelchair - try to make sure that your eyes are level.

Often, these people do not need help, but excess can only pity offend them. Therefore, wanting to help, first ask whether you need your help.

People with mental peculiarities

Everything is exactly the same as in the upper section. A man in such a situation not of their own will and not their fault. The behavior of people with Down's syndrome or autism may be different from the familiar to us, so no need to rush to the rescue, if you saw a man.

Support longer need to relatives who care for such a person.

Animals

Everyone already knows - to give alms to beggars can not be with the animals. Better animal shelter, and if you can not keep it, then be engaged in the search for the home side. In the shelter of homeless animals is better not to give up, because in our country, they are more like a dog Auschwitz.

If you are an animal sheltered from the street - do not forget to be sterilized and to instill it.

If you can not find yourself a pet, for whatever reason, you can just come on the weekends to shelters and walk with animals. This is called a "master of the day." Animals at the shelter are sorely in need of affection and care.

Old men

Older people also need support. To help them can join the volunteers, which has experience in this direction. Volunteers working with the elderly, have diversified their support: clean the apartment, bring food, they buy newspapers and even pay for utilities.

People with incurable diseases

Terrible disease very much, and many of them are incurable. People who are not fortunate to get sick from one of these diseases, just need help. Give it possible through specialized foundations.

Victims of natural disasters, terrorist attacks, disasters, military conflicts

First help - giving blood. In such incidents, it is always a primary necessity, and it is never enough. You can also help things, but make sure that things are clean and intact, because the victims - are the same people like you.

Those who have no one helps

In the world many people are in an unenviable position, but they do not fall under the jurisdiction of any of the voluntary funds. These are simple people who look just like us, and do not cause self-pity, as opposed to sick children, or homeless animals.

It could be your neighbor, relative or colleague. Find a person who needs help is very easy - just look around.

Start helping very simple - join the initiatives of the charitable foundation "Good Deed".
