Hi! Welcome to this Blog!
An idea popped into my mind while meditating one day;
why not challenge myself to give away some money every month to different charities? I will look for charities of interest anywhere in the world, and will split my monthly giving "quota" between several charities/organizations. It's time to become a philanthropist! Fortunately, there is no minimum dollar requirement.
[
Philanthropy is the effort or inclination to increase the well-being of mankind, as by charitable aid or donations.]
Hey! Then I thought, if I share this challenge with others, then they may also get inspired and join the challenge! Hopefully, they could also share their favourite and newly discovered charities (or other ways of giving) on this Blog. That would give me more ideas for my own future donations, and could be of interest to other Bloggers too.
Cool.
By donating to many different charities I figure it will
make me (us) more aware of the many needs in the world, and by actually donating, I (we) can
actually be of real benefit vs. just thinking about it!
[I've chosen to give $108/month. Why the $108? Well, it's known as a sacred number, and for me it represents all the beings in all realms. This ties into having a big "aspiration". In buddhist practice (yes, I'm a buddhist practitioner), making regular, really big, positive aspirations is part of your practice, such as, "May all beings be happy". Just thinking that thought
with feeling effects your mindstream, and also (apparently) has a more cosmic benefit - let's say it produces 'good vibes'.]
So $108 is just my number, you could use any amount.
I challenge YOU to make regular donations (of any amount) to new and different charities, and
report back here to share your ideas, reasons for donating, and the charity info/link on this Blog. I hope you
share this with your friends and send them the link to this Blog.
The world needs a lot of help! Your comments on this Blog may inspire others, who inspire others...
May this Blog creates good vibes!
