It is said that love makes the world go round and showing love to your fellow human being builds a healthier society. That is why charity and humanitarianism exists.
Charity is a show of love that everyone in the world must participate in. The actions and support that you give to those in need in whatever area shows that you love and support the growth of your community.
Humanitarians are people who show that said love and concern for the welfare of humanity. No matter how small your giving is, it is worth a million to the receiver. It’s all about the love and support that we give.
