As a brother in a national co-ed fraternity and a life-long volunteer for many different causes and organizations, I believe firmly in giving back. We in America and other prominent nations are so much more fortunate than most people in this world, and we need to share our good fortune with others.
Giving isn't always about money, often it is about time or even just common courtesy. You never know when a smile might make someone's day.
However, sometimes money is a great way to give back. In the Sunday school class I help lead this morning, we talked about the Heifer Project, which collects 120 quarters in donation tubes. These 120 quarters can buy someone a goat, pig or other animal with which they can profit and make their lives better. These children and families are desperate, and they can use our help.
I'm not saying you should log on to the site right this second and give away your life fortune, I'm not saying you have to give to them at all. What I'm saying is you should do what you can or give what you can, and that will be enough.
