Hello everyone. How was your life? Today I heard some news about donation and it was interesting then I would like to talk more about donation in my article. Here is the link click here.
Economic in US has not been quite good and donation seems to be one thing that was cutted by many people in this situation. Accoring to article,Holden Karnofsky ,co-founder of Givewell.net, was invited to interview about Does it make sense to volunteer time instead of money? Karnofsky said that he would like to persuade people who quite had more time to research what they can do more than volunteering? In his opinion, he thought volunteer is over advertised and some volunteering have nice theory while practice was not good enoght. He suggested people ,who want to maximize the charitable return on their dollar, to find some good charity and research about that charity. First thing that we should looking was "Is that charity can people change their life or not?". If that charity just began, we should follow up their progression because some new charity was really work. Another thing that we should concern about was "Is our money go directly to people who need it?". Sometimes money did not go directly to that people. It means we thought that we helped them but in fact we did not help them anymore. In the end of interview, Karnofsky gave advice to look at bigger and longer established charity for good result in the future.
Charity is the good things that teach us helping another people to change their life. I would like to suggest everyboby find some good charity and donate some money for them. Don't think that it just a little amount because it's not just a little amount for people who need it.

Hi Pat!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the idea that you should do a good research previous get involved as a volunteer or give your time for a non-profit organization. In the first case, sometimes approach selected by the organization is not the best, so it´s probably not to reach the real goals. On the other hand, if you get really involved, giving back you personal skills, real goals might be reached. But, do not forget that this is just one point of view, so, the best of this article is the advice to do a good research about non-profit organization we want to support.
I have mixed feelings about whether or not it's a good idea to volunteer or not. I know a lot of organizations simply do not have enough money to pay for people to do certain types of work. For example, I became interested in teaching ESL by volunteering to teach a Bosnian refugee family English. The organization I volunteered through was too big to pay people to do the work, and didn't have enough money.
ReplyDeleteI guess the bottomline is to do some homework!
