Charity- A Noble Phenomena
We live in a world where there are many ugly events happening on a daily basis. Whether it is a rich country like France or a third world country like Syria, there are one or the other mishaps occurring regularly. Apart from disasters, there has always been poverty, disease, environmental calamity and pollution. But despite of all these things, this word is beautiful place to live. Because no matter what happens, we are always there to help each other. Humanity has managed not to collapse inspite of some hell raisers. This is why there are people working daily on helping others with their philanthropic activities. All we could do is contribute our share of endeavors for this noble cause called charity.
There can be different types of charities. Its up to a person to decide what cause affects him enough to trigger that feeling of strong desire to do something about it. Listed below are some of the broadly classified types of charity:
· Animal Charity: There are a lot of animals in the world which are at the verge of extinction. To save such animals there are many charitable trusts.
· Environmental Charity: Our mother nature has been suffering from many disasters as a result of industrialization and pollution. A lot of organizations are fighting to save her and some are trying to heal the damage already occurred.
