Want to help but don’t know how?
Help Link Adyar lists the charitable organisations, blind schools and NGOs working in the Adyar region, and also the requirements these organizations have in terms of old products, volunteer activities, or sponsorship of food etc.
Well, here’s how: recycle for charity
Your old mobile phone could be invaluable to a deaf man at his workplace, due to its SMS and vibrating alert facilities. Your old newspapers could be collected by underprivileged patients to make eco-friendly shopping bags and earn their keep. Your old chipped bed could keep a child off the streets and in a local shelter for girl children. Your used notebooks or old magazines can be used by blind schools to punch in Braille.
Your hobby/skill/experience can train a man/woman/child to eke out a decent livelihood, as an alternative to begging, stealing or rioting. You could holiday at a remote village and help train teachers there. Your time-pass time could be spent reading a storybook/text book into a cassette and giving it to a local blind school. You could spend a holiday with friends on a picnic with orphan children. Even your shopping spree could be at a charity shop offering ethnic handicraft goods and handloom weaves made by rehabilitated women.
Just do it... whether you do it to:
Earn good karma
Invest in your soul
Save on taxes
Feel good about yourself and shake off low spirits
Earn a social services certificate to get into the overseas college of your choice
Enjoy the company of likeminded groups
Have fun while improving your environment
Create a more humane, stable, peaceful and equitable society free of desperate poverty
Make your locality as clean, hassle-free and developed as any other in the world...
…regardless of your motivation, with small steps like these you can help the less fortunate in your locality and improve your own surroundings.
We make it easy for you to help the underprivileged – in quick, cost-effective and convenient ways
"A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The immense ocean is made up of tiny drops of water.
Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts.
And the consequences, whether good or bad, of even the least of them are far-reaching." – Sivananda
