Why dont we donate?

[balaji2u]

Im very curious to know that how many of you donated some part of your earning to orphanage or poor students.
Please consider donating to them and let them have atleast 10% of their expectations come true.I haven't started this thread in the intention to hurt anyone just a suggestion.

"Poor students" meaning?

Those who go to college and don't get EMA, those who go to University and don't have money because they already spent it on drugs and booze? Those who don't bother getting a job in the evening for a few hours?

Just donate to charities, they'll make the difference with your financial help.

I agree we should help the poor and unfortunate, but I'd like to ask which you may be referring to?

The "poor and needy" that are on the commercials? Where some child is in need of food, medicine, schooling? Why should I send my money to some charity that will keep any amount of it and send some of it to some other country, when children in my own country ( state, county, city ) could use the money?

I have yet to see a commercial for charities for "In-country" needy families, children. Those that are doing jobs "under the table", can't afford to go to school, see a doctor, etc.
Granted, the US has agencies that help, but only limited amounts of people. Why not set up like those TV commercials and have someone "adopt" a needy child / family for "pennies" a day to help them goto school, see a doctor, etc?

What about those that don't have children? The couples and adults that work 40+ hours, live in basic slums, and have to do without? The agencies that help the needy say they make too much to get help ... but yet they have to decide which is more important - power / heat or rent / food? ( Or combination of that )

Just some food for thought.
Edit:

What is EMA? I attend school and get financial aid, but due to some new government rules, the school now keeps 98% of it, and decides when, or if, they will send me any to live off of / pay for textbooks. I don't spend it on drugs or booze.
Don't bother to get a job? Exactly what country do you live in? ... Its not as simple as going up to someone and they say "Oh. You're here. You're hired" ...
Even if it was that simple, you have to have transportation to get to / from. Not everyone has it available to them or lives close to where they would work.

As I said earlier - what charities? Those that pick and choose who gets the help? I've volunteered for some of those "agencies" that tell the public one thing, and privately do another. When I find a charity that has directors that take no salary / perks / etc - drive beat up cars, etc ... then maybe I'll consider them.

martin the world is big.im not talking about only your country.countries like somalia,india,nepal students dont spend their money in drugs and they dont hesitate to get a part time job because they doing it as full time.think globally.

[ShadowmasterX]

look... those who didnt try to succeed in life can stay the way they are

those who NEVER had to opportunity, should be helped...

[QueenHawkeye]

I donate.
It just gets annoying when you donate, and then they want more. That's just called begging.

Doesn't giving money to a church help? From time to time when I do go to a church I'll throw some money in.
