Food is a basic need. We all need it to nourish our body so as to preserve or lengthen life, to energize, and to promote growth. So, it will definitely be a big help if we give clean food and drink instead. We have to be aware that these unfortunate people may not eat three to four times a day or they may do but they get their food from restaurant left-overs thrown into dirty trash bins or from trash cans scattered all over the Metro. And these could be very unhygienic that may pose risks to their health. So, it's only proper and affectionate enough to show how much you care and love them. Share your food.
TELL THE LEGITIMATE CONCERNED AUTHORITIES OF ACTS OF GRAFT AND CORRUPTION SO CROOKS ARE DEALT WITH LEGALLY AND MORALLY:
Graft and corruption is everywhere. Here in the Philippines alone, it's rampant that perpetrators even do it in public despite people witnessing their activities. Someone has got to put a stop to this. When you see acts of bribery, fraudulent transactions, shady deals, dishonesty, or shortchanging; let the proper authorities know so they could be punished and face charges for their nefarious trades.
Probably, you are thinking you are just putting yourself in danger doing this but the thing is, graft and corruption should not be tolerated and furthered especially when you live in a third-world country. It is one of the several reasons why poor countries remain poor. This has to end now or continue suffering.
If you need security and protection, you have to start with ensuring you tell it to reliable, credible, and trustworthy groups and offices. You don't just tell it to anyone who you would end up discovering is a corrupt official himself or is in cahoots with the wrongdoers. Disclose the information you know or the acts you have witnessed with your own eyes on the condition of anonymity, witness protection, and security.
Do it this way. Otherwise, your good efforts may go down the drain or you may jeopardize your own immediate family.
JOIN BOTH NON-GOVERNMENT/NON PROFIT AND GOVERNMENT-AFFILIATED VOLUNTEER AND ADVOCACY GROUPS THAT STAND UP FOR A CAUSE THAT YOU CAN COMMIT TO:
You don't need to organize a group yourself. It's costly, for one. There's a lot out there that you can join and dedicate yourself into. However, you don't just join groups for the sake of it. Make sure that they are aligned with your genuine concern and passion. If you are into sports for example, then join organizations that advocate for the government supporting those accomplished yet disadvantaged sports inspirations who need financial assistance or who simply have to be promoted to the casual fans of their given sport. If you are into environmental protection, then be connected to affiliations that have the heart for nature.
Being affiliated with organizations whose causes are closest to your heart would make you devote sincerely and actively. Additionally, you become a very active and involved citizen who helps and not just someone who goes to work, comes back home, goes back to work, comes back home again, so on and so forth. Thus, has no use in the society.
LAST ON THE LIST BUT CERTAINLY NOT THE LEAST, SIMPLY BE A LAW-ABIDING CITIZEN:
This may sound and look simple and easy but if it is, then who can explain why some regular people still get imprisoned, fined, or required to do community services for violating let's say, simple traffic rules, etc?
Rules are rules and they govern the good, ethical and proper conduct of its followers and their activities. Policies are policies and they define sound decisions that are geared toward what is right and what's socially acceptable. Laws are laws and they are there not to make matters worse, to aggravate situations or strain relationships but to put order in everything that we do and organize how we go about things. Nobody is above them and they should be revered.
Hence, what a peaceful and orderly society it is when people abide by the laws and the rules and follow them religiously. There will be no crimes and no animosity towards one another.
These are just some of the little things you can do to serve your country, your society, and world in general well. Just to reiterate, the society doesn't demand that you be rich, that you be famous, that you be influential. Even if you are just a simple person living a regular life and doing what every normal person does every basic day, you can be an active and concerned individual of your surroundings and the less-fortunate people in it who need you help and your attention.
