The Difference

A New year has come with New expectations and New responsibilities...

Abhaya has welcomed the first day with lots of programs and spent time with people who were in need of moral support to bring-in brightness into their lives. In the first week itself, Abhaya got a huge oppurtunity to put forward our work in front of the whole state through the "Velugu Veliginchu" program of Maa TV. The program was telecast on 2nd Jan 2011.

But, the aftermath of this telecast was something that was totally unexpected. More than 250 calls were received seeking help just in the first two days. Not more than 50 calls came from people who were willing to donate or willing to volunteer for joining hands with Abhaya to do the good work. So, Why is this exponential difference?

Even as I am writing this, I know there must be someone, somewhere who have called us and about to meet us this sunday....silently thinking about how much amount can abhaya give them....or how much of the way forward can abhaya show them....or how much can abhaya support them...!!!

In all these questions, introspectively, lies the answer itself. We can try and try and help as many people as we can. We can pray to God to give us more strength to help more number of people.

But the difference of helping or not helping....the difference of impacting their lives or not....the difference of inspiring others or not....That basic difference lies within us, at an individual level. That single thought of empathy can lead us a long way ahead. Withstanding the obstacles...weathering them away...and still keeping the hope of doing service alive is what is the need of the hour. Looking at the larger picture in mind, our focus should not get askew.

Having said this, it is not the only criteria. There may come many uncalled interruptions in the middle. Commitment to do service to fellow human-beings is the highest peak that ever can be reached. So, Stop not until the goal is achieved.

Always...

abhaya Hunt The Winter 2020

  The 2020 population count was a stellar accumulation of unimaginable numbers. It outlined the total population of the country sweeping 1.3 Billion in numbers. Given the gradual and imminent increase in the population over years we can approximate the numbers to have touched the ceiling limit of 1.4 million  – given the 50 births per minute record rate.      As obvious as it sounds, the census was not only about recording the total population. It counted the total males, females, poor, rich, healthy, sick, young, old, homeless … ah, the homeless. Let’s pause and have a look at what the report has to say about it.    It is defined in the report that the homeless are those who do not live in houses, but rather stay on pavements, roadsides, railway platforms, staircases, temples, streets, in pipes, or other open spaces. There are 1.8 million homeless people in India consisting of single men, women, mothers, the elderly, and the disabled. Let’s put ...

Facet

Since how many days are we seeing people around us who are financially low but has immense talent. Since how many days are we seeing people around us who get deprived of oppurtunities because of their status in the society. Since how many days are we thinking that "Hope I get a chance to help such people"...."Hope I can do something to change the society I am living in". There are some people who take the lead to help others. There are some who wish they could but cannot find the correct way to do it. And there are others who have apprehensions about helping others, escpecially when money is involved. "What if the money I give doesnt reach the affected"..."What if my money gets wasted by the organisation". Believe me, I have journeyed through all the three cases. But my luck has it that I travalled exactly from the last case to the first. And now, I could trust that whatever money I collect or give or donate would definitely reach the needy...
