Time to Kill -II

I started bloggong 3 years back with an entry titled 'Time to Kill'.  So this would be a sequel to it.

I had mentioned about the pleasures of volunteering in one's spare time. Speaking about myself I never had an inclination to take up a 9 to 5 kind of job -reasons being laziness and not having the flexibility of time at my disposal didn't appeal to me. Frankly as much as I  appreciate ladies who are able to take care of home and work long hours at work  I some times pity them when they  are always in a hurry or always trying to beat the time.

Wouldn't it be nice if they could just sit for hours before a TV and have the luxury of not doing anything at all ?

I am volunteering as manager of a corporate foundation.

Our foundation 's agenda is to make an impact on the education of the poor child and women empowerment programs,

We are partnering with good organisations that take up the education of poor children.When I visit these organisations we support and meet the children and see the success of our programs through these childrens' achievements I feel a real high and Know I have made the right choice.

Ladies if you have time and would like to know what you could do with it please do take up any social service activity that is close to your hearts.

These activities humble you, calms you down and makes you feel good about yourself.

But sometimes it also maeks you feel frustrated and angry with the world when you  go to some places.

For example long back I had visited BOSCO an organisation that takes care of street children. I saw a 2- 1/2 yr old little boy there.When asked how he found his way there by himself I was told that his parents left him at Magestic bus stand and went away.

 I was stunned. My immediate reaction was anger at his parents . But then I realised they would hav  done that out of frustration and didn't knopw any better. I soon learnt not to judge these people for what they do how much ever harsh it may seem to us.

These kids are similar to the children shown in "Slumdog....". The movie may not be the best to date  ( at least that's my opinion)  to have won so many awards but the street children shown in it brought back all those memories ......

There is a lot that has to be done to improve our community around us. A little time from each one of us  will amount to a lot of collective goodness... ....and believe me each one of us can make a difference!
