I really appreciate rediff.com for publishing this article and giving us some directions about how to donate. I am willing to donate but am always worried about money really being used for the actual cause. In fact there are lots of other people who want to donate but can not find a trustworthy organizations/ NGOs.
So, it will be great if there is a region wise list of these organizations (with some contact info) so that all of us who wants to help can choose to drop by these NGOs and make sure that the money they want to donate is really being used for a good cause.
If there is already a system which keeps track of all these, giving some contact information of the same will be of great help. If there is no such system, I will appreciate if someone can give the information about NGOs in the area near Maharashtra.
Its really good to see such a wonderful article being published in rediff. As it is said "The more you give, the more you get". I would encourage all of them to give a small portion of their salary towards charity. This is a way to give back to the society.
One urdu poet had said "Mandir-Masjid ko insanon ne banaye, par Insanon ko khuda ne banaya". Which means that "Temple-Mosque has been built by human beings, but human beings were created by the god himself". So I would urge all the reader to donate something for the well being of human beings. Donate directly to organisations directly servicing the mankind.
If that is not possible, try and even buy a scale or a pencil box to a poor child going to school, even that would be a good gesture. No need to spend in 100s or 1000s.
