Bill Gates Set To Donate Yet Again

Not much of a surprising news, but the world’s richest man has yet again decided to make a huge donation in order to watch the world become a better place. William Henry Gates III or commonly known as Bill Gates is the CEO of Microsoft and also, one of the leading personalities to donate money to charities. And yet again this founder of Microsoft, who steps down from his post next week, said he wants to make a 'positive contribution' to the world. He has promised to transfer his money to the charity he has said up with his wife Melinda, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which funds health and education projects around the world.

His revealed his decision a week before he steps down from its post at Microsoft, the firm he founded more than 30 years ago. The 52-year-old genius, will continue to work as non-executive chairman and will spend just one day a week at the business. During the speech, bill claimed this to be his reason - 'I want to make a positive contribution to the world.’  It seems like his success with the computer giant has made him the richest man in the world for 13 years in the row according to Fortune magazine's rich list.

Back when he founded the computer for the first time he said – ‘I one day wish to see a computer in every household.’ Seems like his dream has come true looking at the use of computers on a day to day basis, all over the globe.

Many people have said that the computer revolution would not have happened without him; more than 90% of computers in the world run on Microsoft Windows (seems much like a true statement).

Thanks to him, several other ‘Bill Gates’ followers also have started making online donations for various causes, and this seem to be growing day by day. Now, even I am a follower of this mega-mind entrepreneur, so I’ll be making my donation as soon as I finish this. However, in case you are still wondering as to why Bill decided to give away all his wealth, here is a detailed video of the interview:

Tips for Travelling With Grandparents

Every family man should definitely make sure that they do not travel without correct travel insurance for the family, especially for the elderly. The reason being that due to their age they need to be protected against unexpected illness, accidents and other scenarios.

It is a known fact that grandparents share a very treasured relationship with children. Though now-a-days most of us live in nuclear families, it has been observed that children who live with grandparents grow up to be much more compatible in nature. However, there are several precautions that need to be undertaken while taking your parents on a trip, considering their age. One such precaution is ‘health insurance’. So here are some facts to be considered before you finalize your trip.

  Choosing the right place

Planning a trip to an amusement park or even thinking about going to places wherein you might be required to go for trekking, snorkeling rafting or any other blood-pumping activity is completely out of question. Try and choose resorts that offer such activities close to accommodations with abundant playgrounds, shopping malls, and beautiful scenery at the same time. Reason being that the elderly can easily go back to their rooms and take proper rest as and when they desire.

  Book non-stop flights if possible

Majority of airline hassles come in the form of delayed flights or missed connections. It is highly advisable that you opt for non-stop flights and print the boarding passes online itself. Special discounts and privileges are provided by the government; make sure you keep a track of all during booking.

  Open Communication

Please ensure that you provide mobile phones to each of the senior citizens travelling with you, phones that are completely charged, both in terms of credit and battery level. That way, in the event of an emergency you can't handle, you can call for help and stay on the line.

Visa to Visit Dubai

Dubai is a place that everyone wishes to visit at least once in their lifetime owing to the beautiful manmade structures all over the city. From the Palm Island to the Burj Khalifa, there is something to interest everyone. However, it isn’t easy to get a visa to visit Dubai as the requirements for obtaining a visit visa there vary depending on your nationality. The citizens of 33 countries, apart from the ones with GCC, can get a visa on arrival in Dubai, whereas the rest are required to get one before they leave their home countries.

Nationalities not in this list can get a 30/40/60 day tourist visa sponsored by a local entity thanks to the several visa services available everywhere, such as a hotel or tour operator, however this should be obtained before entry into Dubai. Two other options are a transit visa (valid for not more than 14 days) or a visit visa. In general, visit visas are valid for either 30 or 90 days. Both visas are non-renewable. There are multi-entry visas that are available for visitors who have linkage with local businesses that require them to visit Dubai on a regular basis. Multiple-entry visas are valid for visits of a maximum of 14 days each time, for six months from date of issue. These, usually cost about 2,100 AED and should be applied after entering the UAE on a visit visa.

The good news is that the people who are travelling via Dubai airports in transit can get a special transit visa, which is available only through certain airlines.  It is important to remember that visa laws can change frequently, and therefore, it is always advisable that you check with the UAE Embassy in your home country before you travel. Reason being, the rules and regulations in the UAE are a lot different compared to any other country on earth, so ensure the regulations there are not breached.

Reasons for Widespread Hunger in Children

When we talk about malnutrition, children are the most visible victims of ‘under-nutrition’. Poorly nourished children who are under the age of 15 year suffer up to 160 days of illness each year. In addition, poor nutrition causes about 7 million deaths per year, of which more than 5 million are children under the age of 15.  The estimated proportions of deaths in which under nutrition is an underlying cause are roughly similar for diarrhoea (61%), malaria (57%), pneumonia (52%), and measles (45%), and several other causes.

Most recent estimate for child statistics show that malnutrition affects approximately 32.5% of children in developing countries. On a larger geographical scale, more than 70% of malnourished children live in different countries of Asia, 26% come from the continent of Africa, and 4% from Latin America and the Caribbean. There are several reasons for this, some of which are noted below:

  Causes

Undeniably, the principal cause of hunger is poverty. Other causes include lack of  access to food, resources, an extremely unequal income distribution in the world, and within specific countries, conflict and hunger itself. Back in the year 2008, the World Bank estimated that there were about 1,345 million poor people in developing countries living on a daily wage of $1.25 or less. This compares to the later FAO estimate of 1.02 billion undernourished people.

  Harmful economic systems

It is believed that the principal underlying cause of poverty and hunger is the ordinary operation of the economic and political systems in the world. There is a big requirement for an essential control over resources, political and economic power that typically ends up in the hands of a minority, who live well, while those at the bottom barely scrape through their days.

  Hunger

Hunger is oddly a precursor of increasing levels of poverty; because of such increasing hunger levels, people are afflicted with poor health, which leads to lower energy levels. This in turn impacts people’s ability to work, thereby leading to a vicious cycle of even greater poverty and hunger.

How to Raise Money for a Non-profit Organization

Money is a crucial backbone of any organization. Corporates as well as non-profit organizations require a steady flow of income to supplement their administrative and executive expenses. Non-profit organizations, such as CRY UK and UNICEF, have a tough time gathering said resources because of a number of constraints such as less manpower, inaccessible location of operations, lack of public awareness, and logistic issues.

 It goes without saying that raising money is a major priority for a non-profit organization, especially for start-ups that are struggling to gain a foothold in this already-crowded NPO field, especially with large players such as HRW, Charity: Water, and CRY. To help such organizations with their fund-raising, we have compiled a list of tips for entrepreneurs and young activists.

  [1] Ensure your story is personal

Sharing an engaging story about how you decided to start such a venture ensures that you will strike the right chord with your audience. You can do either give a short speech at a fundraising event or send out an email to current and potential clients/donors. Try as much as possible to share only the necessary details and leave out complicated jargon that may might put off common people.

  [2] Look for more innovative ways to ask for donations

Instead of asking for donations, try telling donors to contribute with gifts. Send mailers to people and mention how they can pitch in by sending clothes and rations (if your NPO is aimed towards homeless/less-privileged people) or books and toys (if it is aimed towards children). You can also organize programmes: for example, CRY UK has a programme that allows you to adopt a hamlet that ensures children living in the hamlet receive proper education, mid-day meals, etc.

  [3] Organize competitions and raffles

You can hold competitions in public places that allow the general public to participate. Use this as a chance to open stalls for sign-ups and general donations. You can setup raffles that include an option for winners to donate a portion of their winnings to charity and ensure that the event has good coverage. This will help raise awareness and will help spread your aim and objective by word of mouth. Karaoke events and dance competitions are also a good way to gather large crowds.

What Exactly Do NGOs Do?

A non-governmental organization or better known as ‘NGO’ is any form of non-governmental, non-profit making, voluntary citizens group organized on a local, national, or international level.  In simpler words, NGOs are essentially associations formed from within civil society bringing together individuals who share some common purpose. NGOs provide potent forces for social, political, and economic development. Here are some of the really important roles of NGOs -

Development and Operation of Infrastructure:

Community-based organizations can acquire and develop land, construct housing, provide infrastructure and operate and maintain certain infrastructure, such as wells or public toilets, for the general public. These organizations also develop building material supply centers along with several other community-based economic enterprises. In several cases, these organizations may require technical assistance from governmental agencies or higher-level NGOs for the work they do.

  Facilitating Communication:

Several NGOs are seen to be using interpersonal methods of communication, and study the right entry points in order to gain the trust of the community so as to benefit them in ways. The significance of this to the government is that by doing so, NGOs can communicate to the policy-making levels with the government of that specific area along with information about the lives, capabilities, and cultural characteristics of the local people.

  Advocacy for the Poor:

In case of some rare cases, the NGOs also become spokespersons for the poor in order to influence governmental policies and programs. This may be done through a variety of means like participation in public forums and the formulation of government policies. Thus these NGOs seem to play role forms as ‘advocates’ for the poor in order to help them implement beneficiary rules along with government programs.

Worst Forms of Child Exploitation

Though the relative incidence rate of child labour in the world has decreased from 25% to 10% between the years of 1960 and 2003, the numbers still are much more than what could be called as acceptable. Unfortunately, as of 2013, the total number of children (in the age bracket of aged 5–17) working under strenuous labour are about 168 million, as estimated by UNICEF and ILO.

In its most extreme forms, child labour involves children being enslaved, forcefully being separated from their families and loved ones against their will, exposed to serious hazards and illnesses, or left to fend for themselves on streets at a very young age. Whether or not the work done by kids can be called as child labour depends on the child’s age, the type of work he performs, the number of hours as well as the working conditions he has to deal with. The answer to this varies not only with each country but even in different regions within a country.

Child labour can be perceived differently by the ILO depending on the intensity of work; however, there are certain types for which the ILO shows extreme intolerance. Following are the worst forms of child labour that are strongly frowned upon:

  (a) All forms of slavery, such as selling and trafficking of children, serfdom and forced labour, which also includes forced recruitment of children so as to involve them in any type of armed conflict.

(b) The use, procuring, or offering of any child for the purpose of prostitution or even the production of any type of pornographic performances.

(c) Using children for any type of illicit activities, mainly in terms of producing and trafficking drugs, is deemed as illegal by most of the countries.

Working Towards the Betterment of Indian Children

CRY UK along with its partner CRY in India works towards ensuring basic rights of India’s children. Since 2007 all resources raised by CRY UK have been channelled through their partner CRY, in India, to support child rights projects across the country. CRY UK draws on the grant management services of its partner CRY in India to ensure optimal utilisation of funds and enhancement of the quality of the supported project initiatives. This partnership has brought about significant changes in the lives of several underprivileged children. Currently, there are two CRY UK projects.

1. Jago Foundation

Jago Foundation is a project based in Jharkhand working on the issue of displacement of the tribal people. It plans to utilise grant amount to the tune of £14216 for the year 2013–14. Based in the district of Giridih, the Jago Foundation was set up in the year 2004 in response to the cause of mass displacement of local communities due to mining and land acquisitions programmes that occurred. The depletion of forest cover led to a further loss of income for the families residing there, adding to their woes. Child labour is perhaps worst of all the prevalent problems; in addition, malnourishment of children is increasing everyday. CRY UK, along with CRY India, is trying to bring an end to these issues such as child labour and other problems that the people of Giridih currently face.

2. Project Gram SwarajSangh (GSS)

 Project Gram Swaraj Sangh (GSS) in Gujarat work with scheduled tribes, mostly DesiKolis and ParkaraKolis as well asBhils, Vagharis, and Vanjhas. This project plans to utilise a grant  amount ( of £23365) for the upliftment of the children in the tribal folk.GSS started interventions by setting up a small school for 50 children of the Koli community. Today, the organisation works in 148 hamlets battling issues related to education, health, watershed management, and livelihood. CRY is trying its best to improve the lives of these people with the establishment of several programmes programmes fighting for the most pressing societal issues.

The Joy of Giving

CRY (Child Rights and You) is a non-profit organization with a goal of equality for children in all aspects of life. They want to see children develop their skill-set and use them to the fullest. To bring this to fruition, CRY depends on various sources of income coming in from charity donations. Given below are a few ways to get people to donate money to charity.

Decide the cause

The first step is to reassure and convince people of the cause, for which they are willing to contribute. Whether it is for children, animals or those who are differently abled, people like to be assured about their money reaching the correct destination, i.e., to the right people and for a legitimate cause.

  Go social, go mobile!

The easiest way to promote and explain your cause to prospective donor is by putting it up on social media websites. Create a web page which can be easily accessed on a mobile, tablet or computer. Collect email addresses of your friends, family, and colleagues and send them updates on the progress made by your campaign.

  Say thank you!

Always remember to thank your donors for their support. As a token of appreciation, you can send small household items to the donors of your cause. If you or your friend has a certain interest or talent, make sure you use it in some way for the contribution to your cause.

  Organize an event

This is the best way to popularize your cause. Ask a restaurant or club if they can spare a certain amount of time for you and your campaign, wherein a certain percentage of the money they make goes for your cause. Rope in a celebrity or two who can perform for a gig towards the charity.

The Key to the Future

Children are clearly the future of the every nation. In case of a developing country like India, development of the children holds the key to the progress of the nation. However, it is not just children that comes from good families but also the underprivileged children that are equally important as will soon become a part of this future.

Whether we talk about problems related to topics like healthcare, poverty, population control, unemployment and human rights, it is important to ensure that children are a focal point of discussion and are well protected in the above aspects. Above all the factors that needed to be taken care of in the case of underprivileged children, education easily tops the charts. The thought process of the children is the factor that will decide the upcoming years of the country.

There are educational initiatives set up for underprivileged children that include pre-school (3-6 years), primary school (6-14 years), secondary education (14-18 years), and the Graduation (18-21 years). There are various projects by CRY America that support about 100 grassroots initiatives working for the education of the poor and underprivileged children in a number of states across the country.

CRY is a leading organization started by Mr. Rippan Kapur back in 1979 which has for over 30 years, made tremendous efforts to ensure that children across all class and income segments get the basic rights that they are entitled to so that they can contribute well to the future of India, thus making it a better country to live it for both current and future generations. Though CRY is trying its best to ensure these people receive their rights, you too can make sure and do your bit for underprivileged children by lending a hand to CRY and help speed up this beautiful process of making our country a better place to live in.

Helping to Create a Better Future

The term child labour is best defined as work that deprives children of their childhood, their dignity, and that is harmful to their physical and mental development in any manner. The practice of having children engage in economic activity, on part or full-time basis interferes with their ability to attend regular school and thus, affects their childhood. Poverty, lack of good schools and growth of the informal economy are considered to be the leading causes of child labour in India.

The practice of child labour has been found throughout the globe for centuries now, children under the age of 16 years have been forced to work in many unacceptable condition. Survey suggests that the biggest cause of child labour is poverty. Similarly, poverty and inadequate education opportunities are some of the causes of child labour in India.

In India the issue of child labour is huge and it demands support and contribution from every person. Recently, the Government has taken some concrete steps to improve the situations of these children. Measures are being taken to provide them with free education and even allocating funds for their health and development. However, the problem still seems to be at large. Several NGOs, are trying to improve the condition of these unfortunate children.

NGOs like CRY UK strive to protect the basic rights of children like the right to survival, to nutrition and to education. We cannot undermine the huge role these NGOs play in uplifting children and saving them from the clutches of child labour. NGOs address issues related to lack of sensitivity and infrastructure for children’s rehabilitation, along with their education. Most NGOs concentrate mainly on education, as it is the basis on which a better future can be built. A good education will equip the children with the skills they need to get a steady job and end the vicious cycle of poverty.
