helps others to get benefited by your skills, it also enhances your own skill levels. It increases a sense of mutual belongingness between two human beings. This feeling of mutual belongingness goes beyond the levels of professionalism and extends to building certain bonds that have their foundations in human values like, trust, respect and benevolence. Besides, almost everyone gets an opportunity to teach others something at some point in their lives.

This is why it’s quite crucial to become a good teacher. Here are following characteristics that a great teacher possesses:

Being a great teacher requires you to be available for your students as per your schedule. Teaching is different from many other professions where you take unplanned leaves without caring much about the monetary gains of your employer. In case of teaching, it’s not the monetary gains that are important; it’s more about being there when your students need you.

Also, you need to know your students personally as well. This is quite important because every student (indeed, every individual) has certain unique personality traits which may impact the learning speeds and learning patterns. For being successful as a teacher you should consider these aspects of your students'personalities. In addition, a personal attention given to students increases the level of trust between you and your students which will improve your communication with your students.

Fairness and maintaining your calm are two other most important qualities that will ensure that you are genuinely respected by your students. If you are unfair with few of your students, chances are you will become a villain in their view. This is a harsh reality of being a teacher. In addition, in case you have few cranky students in your classes, it will work in your favour if you always keep your calm and think of ways to improve them instead of losing your temper and hamper your communication with them. It is indeed must to consider the human behavioural aspect of their personalities; your students are not like some coat hooks wall mounted which can be easily replaced at your wish. They need to be treated with love, respect and a great patience.

Getting young people involved with charity work and aid projects is a very important thing in my opinion, and I think that it is our responsibility to try and ingrain an ethic of compassion and helpfulness in all of our youngsters, as they are the ones that will be in control of the future. Many people that get involved in this kind of work early on really enjoy it and often then follow through with things when they are older.

Some things that are a good idea to try and get children involved in the idea of helping others and giving, is to organize aid box days in school. This is where the children collect a box of things from their home that they want to donate, and bring it into school. The school then arranges for a charity to take all of the boxes away and donate them to other children that are in need. When children are a bit older, there are more projects and ideas that they can get involved with, and getting them to take as much responsibility for organizing these as possible is always a good thing.

Another aspect to this type of giving, and charity work, is getting children to realize the importance of looking after the environment and caring for he world, as well as the people. Getting them involved with green projects, and recycling projects is a good way to try and bring them up with a better notion of what is right and wrong, and what things are most important in life. Teaching them about buying fair trade products, and eco products is also a good idea. Companies such as Enigin Scam Busters are the product of a group of people who care about such things, and want to try and promote green companies and expose those that are just trying to make money out of people wishing to buy green products.

The World Donor Index uses data and information from 153 countries, which covers 95% of the population of the Earth. The index measure three different aspects of charity: donating money, donating time (volunteering), and helping a stranger. For 2011 the only index that has experienced a decrease is the amount of money raised for charity. But this is not that surprising, considering the current economic climate. But I wanted to talk a bit about Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, those two billionaires are probably the most giving people on the planet. Bill Gates the man who has managed to bring equality to the world by taking form those who have, in this case those who have sufficient funds to buy personal computers, and he gives it to the poorest. His big heart has helped millions of kids. His “The Giving Pledge” Foundation has been providing almost everything you can imagine to those in need: from access to fresh water, three meals a day, clothing, electricity, computers, desks and storage lockers for schools and community centres and what not. He has even decided to donate most of his wealth to charity rather than simply leaving it to his family. Last year, he donated more than 6 billion dollars and managed to persuade many other billionaires to give some of their money away too.

Charity begins at home or so goes the famous adage. There seems to be a sense of nobility in doing something that helps others. To add to the sense of nobility, you often hear of Ivy League grads or top honchos from a leading company chucking it all up to spend their life doing charitable work as they find it more fulfilling. I greatly respect and admire such a noble decision. Setting aside the love for lucre and opting to live a life with the less underprivileged takes a certain amount of dare and conviction that may be found lacking in most people.

The flip side of the coin is what rankles me no end. There are many con artists out there who are more than happy to present a sorry picture to reap the benefits they can squeeze out of such admirable people. I have seen for myself how people present a very different picture from actual reality to avail of benefits offered to the needy. I have read reports of people who would put an Oscar winner to shame with the intensity of their performance about their suffering. I have read articles of people from well to do families addicted to begging – they travel to their chosen location, change into their ‘work clothes'and beg! It’s a profession for them. They most likely have storage lockers stuffed with wads of cash. And it’s tax free too! All these people manage to get money preying on the charitable streak in their victims.

It is very important to be discerning while embarking on the charitable road. I feel that segregating the needy from the fake ones is half the job done. That way the help and sacrifice of well-meaning souls will reach the right people. Sounds simple, but it is equally simple for the con artist who sets out to fleece people in the guise of needing your help.

Many of us yearn to live a more exhilarating life, one which is different from what we have known for the years we have thus far been on this planet, sure security and comfort holds us back, but the world is such a wonderful place. So many of us dream of visiting and living in new places, new countries and experiencing the world we live in, not just reading about it in magazines or watching it documented on our tv screens.

As Christopher McCandless once wrote:

“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”

Considering moving to a new country can of course be a daunting prospect, many us have embedded friendships and family structures that we are reluctant to leave behind, but as world wide travel becomes more accessible, distances between countries are becoming seemingly smaller and the invention of technologies such as Skype mean that we can be just one video call away.

Moving to another country, especially outside if the European Union is likely to require the involvement of an immigration expert, who can guide you through the process of applying for a visa that will allow you to set up a new life in a foreign land. Prior research however is imperative before hiring such a service, as unfortunately there are many rogue ‘experts'looking to cash in on people need for help in getting their lead around legalities and requirements for entry.

Charity begins at home, as the popular saying goes. Many of the avid readers of books consider that giving away books for charitable causes can be one of the best ways they can do some charity. Indeed, great books help shape personalities, they can become guide to someone’s career, and they can even get some out of the depressing states. These unanimously believed friends of humankind are the best tools that quench insatiable thrust of knowledge.

This is why considering donation of books is a great idea. In addition, the books that have been collecting dust after being read can move to their new homes and do not lose their worth years after they were bought first. Here are few tips you should consider if you’re thinking about giving away the books you once loved.

1. You can either donate books to someone you know (such as family, friends, a colleague, friends of someone you know etc.) or at a charitable organization that accepts books. In either case you would be helping someone and someone will be benefitted by your benevolence. The only difference is that the charitable organization will gain monetary benefit if you choose the latter option.
2. You can contact local public libraries to see if they would welcome your contributions. Also, if you have books specific to a specialized subject you can offer them to the non-profit organizations working in that area. For example, you can donate your law and compensation related books to the law firms practicing in the area of Cerebal Palsy compensation
3. You can try getting a tax receipt in order to avail a tax exemption on your contributions to the charitable organizations. You should, however, make sure that you donate your books to the right and trustworthy organizations.
4. You should keep your books in a good condition before you donate them. This will actually help their readers. A book in a bad and worn out condition is less likely to be picked by some real readers.

Many persons find such questions to be very offensive. After all, they pay for stuff that they donate for charity. Well, charities not just about giving stuff that you have paid for. It is about giving stuff that people need. If the charitable organization is in need of these panels, then contributing the same will be very generous gesture.

However, if the organization has no use for such panels and does not have the resources or skills to sell the same for profit, your contribution may end up becoming an expense for the organization.

The best way to tackle this issue is to admit that you are trying to get rid of unwanted material even as you are doing charity. Well, why don’t you take it a step ahead and find out whether the organization is ready to accept what you are donating. If not, then you can offer to convert the same into cash and donate the same. Of course, you can finalize a deal at your own convenience and hand over the amount you deem fit. The extra effort that you have to make can certainly be considered when finalizing their donation.

Now, the responsibility will be on the charitable organization to decide whether it wants a relatively smaller amount in cash or a larger amount in kind.

Of course, this is an over simplification. If there is no charity, chances of social order will become practically non existent. In such a scenario, it is but natural for the charitable organization to focus a bit on self survival as well. How will you react if your charitable organization spends a few thousand dollars purchasing a good data quality management software application? Would you automatically conclude that the charity should not have utilized money for such expenses? Or would you consider the requirement or necessity of the organization before passing a judgment? After all, an organization that manages contributions from thousands of individuals on a regular basis will require proper data management.

Going in for a software application that measures the quality of management of data is equally important. Or is it? After all, the money that charitable organizations spend on themselves is money that cannot be utilized for charity. Well, being too rigid about these things will not work. Will you stop eating so that you can do charity? Obviously not. In the same way, you cannot complain that the charitable organizations focus on self survival. However, this does not mean that the charity can behave like a business where it generates returns for itself instead of generating returns for the masses in need of assistance.

Another common complaint that charitable organizations have is that they end up with lots of expired medicines. The desire to donate medicines is a good thing. However, to hand over expired medications is no different than handing over lots of poison. You don’t want to be seen as a person who wants poor people dead, do you? Then you have to stop donating expired medicines. The dust bin is the right place to deposit this trash.

Donating clothes is a very common phenomenon. This is especially true for those who like to purchase clothes very often. Well, donating clothes that are torn or are in tatters can leave these charitable organizations in a very difficult situation. They have to spend more money repairing the clothes to make it wearable. Further, the fact that torn clothes have been disposed off indicates that the donor does not have any regard for the modesty of the recipient. That is not a good message to send.

Many persons react viciously when they advised to be more sensitive when doing charity. They believe that the fact that they are doing charity should be enough. Well, to demand gratitude as a matter of right is not a good thing. It is a sign of arrogance. We must remember that we are very lucky to be born in a family that could afford basic needs. The primary essence of charity is to develop this feeling of mutual respect even though the other person may not have a lot of money in hand.
