Little Steps Towards Helping Humanity
Putting your energy into a social cause brings the satisfaction of consciences. Every time you step into contributing to such a journey it creates an urge within to do more. We worked for something similar associated with Amal Academy. The assignment was to raise funds in our circle for Edhi Foundation and help the organization. Edhi foundation is a social welfare started by Abdul Sattar Edhi in 1951 that has now become one of the best providers of social welfare in Pakistan. The people we approached appreciated our work although the contribution was not much. The actual purpose was to deliver what we can in the name of humanity and betterment.
We worked individually as well as a team to bring maximum efficiency to the project. Working individually showed us how for a bigger cause, by doing even the trivial things one can do wonders. Whereas teamwork assisted everyone one of us in several ways; our feelings thereafter were that we became more generous and grateful, for all things that we possess. We experienced that if we are aware of the impact and effect our efforts would bring, failure would only come to us as an opportunity.
The major issue in such a work is usually the authentication of a donation campaign. Such experiences bless you with a sense of responsibility, sense of achievement, and rejection handling power. As there were times when people were reluctant, and many refused. We also learned that you could do anything if you have strong why behind it; that failure is just temporary if your struggles are permanent. We fortunately did not face this problem frequently due to the credibility and experience of some of our circle members. However, it was the first time they were working for Edhi Foundation and they are very much determined to do it again. This is just the beginning!
