Because today the law and technology allow you to do more than give a weight in your pocket.
Nine, nine, nine, nine ... so Lucerito sings every first Friday of December. The reason the call numbers? Motivate thousands of Mexicans to participate by donating a dollar, fifty or whatever his willingness to the cause of the Telethon. Just a couple of months ago, raised over 440 million dollars and managed to exceed the target, as in every edition of the show.
Thanks to the power tiller handle artists like Julieta Venegas and Emmanuel on stage, and the insistent voice of Lucero and hundreds of volunteers who take their small boat purple and yellow on the streets and schools in Mexico, has opened eleven Teleton Children's Rehabilitation Centers. Certainly, here are cared for hundreds of children who face the world with disabilities. A lateral, employers avoid paying taxes through generous public donations and temporarily calms our conscience.
This is linked to the famous question: Do I or do not give alms? Maybe it's not just that. There are several ways to participate, to be citizens and converse with society. One is through non-governmental organizations, commonly called NGOs. These are civil societies, non-profit, which is engaged in joint efforts to help a specific group often marginalized, they also work environmental or political causes, all are ultimately social reasons.
the eighties it was not only rock, extravagant hairstyles and fluorescent colors, it was a decade of great booming growth and NGOs in Mexico were only named as such officially by the government until 1992. In the nineties came 3 000 172. Currently run around the same number. However, life is full of the same problems: it is always short and lack of human resources, material and financial. Indeed, life is hard.
According to the National Census of Social Organizations of 2000, the company took an active role after the earthquake of 85. The citizens began to create support networks. In particular, they realized that not everything can be left in the hands of government and beyond lawmakers, voices need to create organized, as participatory as demanding.
NGOs are a relatively recent phenomenon. However, to stay alive is necessary to work with sustainable projects, once developed can walk alone. It is not only to donate clothing to a group home every 6 months, although no doubt this represents a support for institutions. The fund objective is to transfer knowledge, encourage the creation of laws, make public the issues and raise awareness.
If our complaint is the lack of time to participate in such projects, there is also the technology and the Internet through which we all become authors of changes and perhaps even leaders of opinion. In the network can create an entire movement, find out what happens in the free world in general, and access a wealth of information that can be used positively. The potential is almost infinite.
the end, we know that the two weights of alms are only the surface of various national and international problems, and Mr asking for it, is just one among millions of people.
