Your Words Have The Power To Change Someone’s World

Friday, March 19th, 2021

Since childhood, we are taught that, always be polite and kind with your words and always help others. But helping others does not mean monetary help only, in fact I personally believe that we can help in many ways which are better than the monetary help.

Infact, I personally believe that if you really want to help someone then choose better option rather than monetary help like…. helping the person to do something in life, inspiring them, help in settling in life, help in making career, help in work, or help in giving challenges. Believe me, if you really have someone close to you….. Giving challenge without any monetary help will make them independent and that’s the real help. Helping with money, you can help one time….. But helping in settling someone in their career will have Long life impact to your good will.

 

Yes, Believe me. I am saying it right.

 

Let me share one simple story,

 

We have often seen that, some people are rude in behavior but are kind-hearted while some are good in behavior but not good by heart, they hide their real feelings for others, they can’t see if something good happens to others and they never step forward to help others. But the one who are just opposite of such people, always try to help others, in the best possible way they can do.

 

An old-aged man was sitting on the road-side, he was a beggar and blind. He was asking for a penny, by keeping a board on beside him, on the card-board it was written – “I’m Blind Please Help ME…” People were moving around, some were giving a penny, some were busy in their own and simply ignoring him. The days were passing and he was hardly getting 4-5 pennies a day.

One fine day, a lady passed from the same street and she saw the old-man, but she moved and suddenly in a second she stepped back and turned around, came to the blind old beggar and that worked as a miracle. The beggar touched her feet, was trying to find out what the lady was doing but was not able to find out. After the lady moved from there the old-man started getting pennies in unexpected manner, his bowl was full, the old-man was astonished and thinking that what that lady had written on the card-board ??

 

After few days, the lady again passed from the same street and met the old-man, on that fine day, again he recognised the lady by touch her feet and then asked her Ma’am what you wrote on my card-board that day, that I am receiving more pennies compared to my previous days ??? The lady with smile replied I just wrote – “It’s A Beautiful Day And I Can’t See.” The old-man also smiled, said kind words thanking her and gave her blessings.

Just like the words written  by the lady on card-board of beggar changed his days. To help someone in any form is important and not how you are helping.

 

Always take out time for helping others, do charity or donations or guide with kind words so that you can change someone’s life…

Wrapping The Needy

Monday, January 27th, 2020

Every day before I go to bed, I am thanking God that he has given one more day to live and for doing something better and to make our life worth living. I am content with what I have and blessed by what I have… But when I look around my self I notice many things that make me feel sad like poverty, the inability of poor people to fulfill their basic needs.

As at present winter season is on, and the entire country is enjoying this season with lots of happiness and many other things. But the people who are living on streets and those who don’t even have proper clothes to cover their body are striving to get some shelter, proper food, some warm clothes and blankets, but are hardly able to get any…

One day while I was on my way back home, I noticed one old man was sitting below the lamp post and was shivering in the thundering night. As I reached home, I asked my mother to give one old blanket because I want to give the same to that old man sitting below the lamp-post near my home.

My mother gave a taught for a while and then said that- “Yes, we have one used blanket and if I want I can give that to the old man.” Me and my father took out the blanket from our bed and I went to that old man and gave him the blanket my father wrapped the blanket around him and along with 100 Rs.

After receiving the blanket and money, the old thanked us and was said- “God Bless you sir and to your daughter, May God fulfill your wishes and give more wealth.” Me and papa both were happy, as today I did something good for needy and the smile and happy face of that old man made our day.

I don’t belong to a very rich millionaire family, but to a well to do family and I always believe to do something good for others, something which can improve someone’s life and he/she can do something better in their life.

Wrapping the people often gives tremendous happiness in our heart and it can not be compared with anything. We can wrap someone by giving hug when they are emotionally broken, or when we want to share happiness, we can wrap someone who don’t have clothes on their body or have torn clothes, the helps needy poor people, children.

Few days back, while I scrolling on social media I found one video clip of army soldiers- they were distributing blankets to the people who were sleeping on the roadside in the shivering winter night.

The soldiers were going one to one to everyone and were giving them the blankets and those who were sleeping nicely, they were silently wrapping the blankets on them and moving forward to next.

Often we throw are unused woolen clothes, blankets and other stuff, but we don’t think to donate it needy people or wrap the needy people and save them from the shivering cold.

If we are blessed by God that we can reduce someone’s pain then we should try to do it and make someone happy… Wrapping the needy people will always give happiness….

 

The Miracle Of Social Help

Wednesday, November 28th, 2018

Poverty is an issue that has remained constant despite the change in governments in the past decade. While measures and initiatives have not been less by any standards, there is still a lot to cover when helping the poor is taken into consideration. It is also pretty evident that to address the issue of poverty in India, the citizens also need to take initiative and do their bit for social help care.

To take a more realistic approach, it is not entirely possible to eliminate poverty but there can surely be measures through which we can have control over the state of things regarding this social issue. Helping poor is crucial in the initial stages, and this can be nothing short of a miracle, but also a step in the right direction.

Become a part to eliminate poverty simply through donations!

Donations are a huge factor for social help care, so much that the importance cannot be highlighted enough. Simply getting rid of things that are not of much use to us can make a deep impact on our task of helping the poor and needy. And there are a number of everyday items that can be donated to make a mark on the lives of the needy

  • Toys – It is rare to find a household with children that do not have a bunch of toys that are of no use whatsoever. And these toys can be the reason for the kids of the needy to smile and be happy about it. All it needs on our part is taking these toys to the people who were not fortunate enough to buy those toys themselves.
  • Clothes – There are loads of clothes which we wore just a couple of times and then we grew a bit too quickly which left them forgotten in our wardrobes. These clothes can be a very good option to give to the needy. They also do not require any sort of extra effort apart from just a little time to monitor the clothes you do not need anymore.
  • Books – One of the best gifts for social help care. While donating books gives you the freedom to add new titles to your own collection, it also gives the needy ones an opportunity to become aware of the things around them in the world, and also impart social values and moral virtues in them.

Apart from donations, there are a couple of other fascinating ways for helping the poor, in the form of awareness programs and sharing your particular skills or knowledge with them.

  • Awareness programs – Programs that are aimed to create awareness regarding education for children, sanitary habits, the prohibition of child marriage and many such topics of which the less fortunate are not aware of are a great way to helping poor and restoring order and discipline in their lives, along with a sense of purpose.
  • Imparting skills or knowledge – Every individual is blessed with certain abilities that can be imparted or shared with the poor people or children of a neighborhood. Singing, dancing, public speaking are a few of them.

Social help care can make a lot of lives of the underprivileged better, helping the society be imparted with a moral culture too.

Different Ways to Help Poor & Needy!

Wednesday, September 19th, 2018

Poverty is a major issue prevailing in our country. When it comes to scarcity, our country is lacking in many objects which need to be solved quickly. However for that to happen the people of India need to work hard to help the poor. There are trucks of ways through which though one cannot overcome poverty but surely can have control over it. Some of which are presented as:

  • Donating Unused Clothes-

We always perceive things in the way that receiving is more valuable than giving but when you indulge yourself in giving, you will feel more delightful than receiving. We are in a growing age where there are lots of clothes which don’t fit our body when we are outgrown. These clothes unnecessarily occupy our wardrobe & compel our Mothers to scream on us for making our wardrobe vacant. Those no more in use clothes can be donated to the people who are in actual need more than us. It doesn’t require money or any extra effort, just a little bit of time from your schedule to empty wardrobe & deliver it to people who feel joyous in living a small percent of life we are living.

Now, you can also do this by just one click through Social Help Care. Request a Pick-Up and the Volunteer will come at your doorstep to collect the stuff and will donate it on your behalf. You will get complete transparency in the form of Pictures while donating the stuff and acknowledgment slip so that you can see how and where your stuff has been used for donation.

  • Donating Unused Toys for Kids-

In most of our houses, in some corner or storerooms, we have many toys that lay unused and useless packed inside cardboard boxes. Have anyone thought that how much happiness these boxes can bring on the faces of innocent children who are not enough fortunate to play with those?

Just you have to take out those boxes, clean them & deliver it to the children who can actually make use of it. Will you play with these toys at the teenage? Or you will sell them in half rates? The answer to these questions is No! So, why to stock the things that cannot be used in the future?

If you are busy with your routine work then You can also Schedule a Pick-up by just filling a small Form from Social Help Care.

God had granted different unique skills & talents to different people which makes them special & non-identical from each other. People have skills in areas such as drawing, dancing, teaching, playing games, singing, cooking & many more. Each person has at least one thing they are good at. Have you ever thought about what will happen if each & every expertise will come together? The world will become a masterpiece.

“Giving in the form of sharing the talent is what makes the difference”

We can conduct a special visit to the places where we can share some talent which can be fruitful for the poor kids. One can volunteer for just one hour daily or just on weekends at any nearby NGO or orphanage and can share their skills and knowledge to create the future of the country.

 Books are the best gift for helping others. We will make space for more books while donating the old one. The books will allow the people/ children to be aware of the world around them, impart morals & values for them. Clear your shelves by adding new books & giving the one which you have already read & that will be of no use further.

You can donate some books such as as-Comic, General Knowledge, Basic Etiquette, Spoken English Learning, Story, etc to children. They will enjoy reading it & it will enhance their reading & learning capacity. The feeling of satisfaction can be achieved if you will contribute to the enhancing knowledge of a person. It can transform the lives of the people.

 The people living in slum areas sacrifice their life to live a life. They indulge their children to work at an early age without sending them to schools. Even they don’t consult a doctor when any of them fall sick. The women in the villages work at low wages just to survive. A special program could be conducted by us in the slum areas demonstrating the advantages of educating a child.

The children should be sent to schools so that they could study well & earn for their family instead of forcing them to earn at the youngest age. The women usually face the problem of harassment so they can also be given self-defeating awareness training. These programs can change the lives of many people who are not aware of the current scenario of the country. These will not cost anything for us but it will definitely raise the standard of living of the people.

 Sponsoring a child is the best way to support a child’s education. Apart from the basic necessities, every child has the right to get an education. Many people have started working on this clause & many are about to. This way of a donation is a very fair way to let the world get maximum of Graduates.

Now you don’t even have to take out time to visit the user’s place just have to pay monthly installments for making them study. Your little contribution can change their lives. They will also dream of studying up to higher classes & making their parents feel proud. This little contribution of yours will be a major part of reducing a country’s poverty.

 Donating Money is an act where the person contributes some of his earnings to those who are underprivileged or less fortunate. People also join charitable institutions as a volunteer & donate money to uplift the services of these institutions. This social activity is now being carried by most of the population of India.

 

 

“Donation” Without Spending a Single Penny, Interesting!!

Thursday, June 28th, 2018

Helping one person could not change the world but it would surely change the world for that person.

It is always been told:

“You are not important because of how long you live, you are important because of how effectively you live”.

This is so because the value of life is in Donation, not Duration.

Indore is a place where there are a lot of impoverished children in NGOs who are in need of some Clothes, Toys, Books & a lot more. Usually, our house is in the possession of goods that are of no use anymore even if we talk about our wardrobe, it filed with many such clothes which we don’t wear for long. So these small things can be utilized & given to those innocent souls which need them the most.

It’s not charging any of our money just a small-time from our busy work schedule to take out stuff which is of no use. Our small contribution can be a big transformation for them. The happiness of giving is the biggest achievement one could get internally.

Now it has been much easier to forward your outgrown clothes, unused toys, useless books & lot more such useless stuff to the needy children.  Social Help Care is here to convert your unused stuff into useful nature.

You can now donate without even taking out time to visit the end user’s place. We will send our volunteer to your location on your one pickup request. The goods will be drawn from your place delivering to Poor people who are in need or the NGO.

We will also take pictures while donating your stuff and ill share those pictures to the Donner and on our social pages to maintain transparency. Apart from donating we can also share some of your skills like Teaching, Dancing, Singing, Conducting games to the children of NGO, etc.

Donating doesn’t mean we keep on giving the poorly conditioned goods rather the goods should be of that condition which can be utilized further by the souls. There is no mean to give the stuff which is of no use to others.

So follow the rules while donating-

  • The goods should be well-conditioned which can be used by some other person.
  • The goods should be clean & washed ( in case of clothes)
  • The goods should not be infected in any way.

So now you just have to follow these steps to make your goods reach the final destination.

Step 1) Find your old non-useful stuff like clothes, toys or books ( well-conditioned).

Step 2) Go to the Social Help Care site & send pickup requests or Contact on the given number.

Step 3) Our volunteer will call you to confirm your address.

Step 4) Deliver your goods to our volunteer on your doorstep.

Step 5) We will donate your stuff to NGO & will share pictures to you & on Facebook.

How To Prepare Your Clothes Before Donating Them

Friday, March 23rd, 2018

Donating to charity is indeed a very nobel gesture. There are many people who often open their wardrobes and pockets when their fellow citizens are in trouble. However, the problem is many volunteer organizations and crisis management groups lies in the fact that they find it utterly difficult to actually sort things as so many items arrive for donation. Most organisations do not have the man power or the resources to sort items and group them depending on their cleanliness, usage and seasonal requirement. It is a big problem to store out of seasons cloths in such huge numbers for months together.

If you are really interested in making a valuable contribution in terms of cloths and other materials, it is important that you follow the procedure given below.

  • Before you start packing your stuff for donation, it is important that you visit the agency or call them and enquire about their exact requirements. This will give you a good idea about the exact requirement which will make both your and their work a lot easier.
  • If you plan to donate fabric items like bedding, cloths or linen, make sure that they are properly washed and cleaned. If they have stains, take the extra effort to ensure that the cloths have no stains or foul smells.
  • Make sure that you check all your clothing items for rips or tears, before donating them. If there is any missing zipper or buttons, make sure you fix them, since most charities do not have the resources to repair them.
  • If you have cloths or towels which are badly stained try giving them to animal shelters instead of some orphanage or relief fund.
  • Before donating anything, make sure you check all the pockets. Quite often people leave behind money, credit card information and even jewellery in the pockets.
  • If you have winter items to donate, wait till the winter months to donate them. Most charitable organisations do not have unlimited storage area. Donating out of season items creates more problem than solving them.
  • Donating undergarments or bathing robes is not a good idea and many organisations simply refuse to accept them.
  • If you are planning to gift shoes, make sure they are in good condition without any holes. Always donate shoes in pair.
  • If you have collected a large quantity of a specific item like coats, bags or children’s clothing, consider separating the donation by size and labelling each container. This will help to save precious volunteer staff hours in many charitable institution.

How to Organise Your Clothes for Donation before Moving

Thursday, March 22nd, 2018

Moving from one place to another is a daunting task and takes up lot of time and energy. Packing stuff properly really requires a lot of time and can be really overwhelming. When you stay in one place for a fairly long period of time, you tend to accumulate a lot of things you don’t need when you shift location. Instead of throwing them away you can donate them. It is a great way of helping people who can use your stuff. Follow the process below to organise your stuff for donation

Check Every Room 

Irrespective of whether you live in a big house or in a small apartment, it is important that you start arranging as per the rooms. Start from one room and then gradually proceed to the other. This will help you to categorise the items and will makes it easier for you to access, which items are best suited for donation.

Take Your Time

While moving from one place to another; make sure you give yourself enough time to prepare. If you keep everything for the last moment, you can end up taking along with you things, don’t need or donate things that are important for you.

Assess Your Items

cloths are not the only things you can donate, there are toys, shoes, books, equipments and various other things which you can donate. We often tend to hold on to some items purely for emotional reasons. It is important that you think practically. It is important to assess whether you will ever again wear your faded but favourite T-shirt again or will you ever read a particular book again. Use your rational judgement to ensure that you only take things with you which will have long term value.

Don’t Pack Everything

There are many things around in a house, which you perhaps do not need like broken toys, torn shirts and likewise. These items are of no value for anyone. Do not pack them for donation; instead simply get rid of them. It will make your sorting process much easier.
Organise – Once you have collected all the items for donation, organise them in groups. Divide them, as per your cloths, electronics, books and other sub categories, which make it easier for the collection team to distribute them.

Use Proper Packaging

Just because something is going for donation does not mean that it should not be packed properly. Use study boxes for books and bubble wraps for fragile items to ensure that do not break or get damaged during transit.

Pick Ups

There are many donation centres that come to physically pick up your items. If you are planning to donate big furniture’s, provide them adequate instruction for proper equipments. Always schedule the pick up a few days before moving. It will help you to clean your house more efficiently and get things organised in a better manner.
