What is the right age to do social service?

Dear abhayans!

Greetings and good day. While spreading the godly work around, we always learn lot of things from different kinds of people. This is for our good as every single learning will further be refining our approach towards Service.

When we go to college students only one or two shows passion to join hands for the community work… rest all do not have any idea about community work. In the process we learnt that students are busy with their studies, in achieving goals. Many of the students say that they can only think of service after getting settled in life!

When some of the working professionals of abhaya sent emails to friends and colleagues who are settled in life at their work places, they often get very few responses stating that they are busy in meeting day to day priorities as they are tied up beyond explanation post settling in job!!

But when we asked those settled people in the society, they normally say that they have absolutely no time and when we sought the support of those people who has plenty of time after retirement, we got the answers like, they really do not have suitable health or energy to serve… and a few who understood the concept could give money with an advise saying that “the right age to do social service is only when we are young energetic in life!!!”. This is how circle goes and goes on…

The bottom line is that SERVICE is something relating to the H.E.A.R.T, there is nothing like right time in life for doing service. We strongly believe that one must have SERVICE as a caption in life and not an option available.

Super 60

After years of HEART work, with the support of donors and well wishers... abhaya CCL Empowerment Campus at Anatapuram is completed. Trustees formed the Executive Body and visited the campus too. At abhaya we strive to lend a hand to the needy at all times. We also encourage other organisations who would want to serve the society. We try and help them with the required manpower, premises, etc...It's like joining Hands...Heads...Hearts in serving the community. abhaya never say No to any like minded NGOs...For them criteria is only Selfless Work. There are scores of NGOs who joined hands in service with abhaya. One such organisation is Niswartha Foundation with its "Super 60" program. A few details of the program are below: Niswartha Foundation , Uravakonda, Anantapuram Dist, AP   The atlas shrugged its shoulders when it was asked to shoulder the burden of responsibility. With a motto to serve selflessly and to carry the responsibility of improving the pitfalls of society

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

Why is it so difficult to help others....? Do we not have confidence that we can do something for others or is it the lack of empathy in us....?? All these blogs and Facebook accounts have been created to get closer to the younger minds. Yet, we do not see any kind of response from them. Are we so immersed in the race of life that we cannot see the grievances of the people living around us? One day, I keep a status about a hero or a song.....The very next hour...I receive umpteen number of likes and comments regarding that.... But, when I keep a status regarding social service or regarding saving money to donate to the needy....I hardly receive 1% of the response that I got earlier... Is it so difficult to save money for someone else? Is it necessary to know the person to help him? Is it not our minimum social responsibility that we give back something to the society? We donot know the urgency of the need until something happens to any of our friends or people we know....Un
