“Why help the poor?  I have helped people to talk to the poor and not just about the poor”. -Mother Teresa-

That is a simple but very significant statement which indicates ‘the poor’ are not just some conglomerate group which can be dismissed as an economically, non-productive sector of society that we are unfortunately stuck with. They are fellow human beings – real people, individuals – for whom we have concern and responsibility.

That is the first and most basic reason why we should help the poor – because they are fellow human beings, flesh and blood people like ourselves. We cannot turn a blind eye. In this global village, our planet, we are realizing more and more that we are interdependent. We are like a global family, albeit a dysfunctional one. We must accept that we are our brother’s keeper.

Hope is to be cherished, hope is powerful; hope is the “feeling, that belief is a positive outcome related to the circumstances in your life.
