Return gift to the humanity (Importance of Giving)

Even after 3 years of this article, I am still donating whatever I can to the humanity. I hope this will inspire you too.

Today was my birthday but I received a great gift from god few days in advanced. I am really very grateful for it.

I inspired to write about the importance of giving from one of my friend and mentor Mr. Nishant Doshi. He always makes some donation and provides some voluntary contribution to the local social welfare organizations. He told me that he gets a great pleasure by doing these things. but the problem with him is he spends the money of birthday celebration party on this activities so his friends never get any party from him. Therefore, they get little angry on him( ;) ). But I feel it's about anyone's personal choice. I too get inspired from it, though I make donation two or three times a year and believes in the philosophy of making 1% donation of yearly earning though due to many circumstances always falls short of it but still I am happy that I am giving something back to the society.

Now I have decided that I will also contribute to the society on all my special days either with making the donation or performing some community service. Don't worry my friends I will not cut your share of the party but I request all of you that if you really want to gift me something, please make a donation of the same amount I will definitely get what I want from it.

Hope you understand my point. I found Vivekananda Kendra as very good Social Work Community and we can easily make the online contribution on their website. You will also get tax benefit under section 80G. This is just one example you may suggest others in the comments so that other people also come to know about it. Please beware of fraud NGOs.

So, give return gift to the humanity by making the contribution to the society which provides us lot of things and makes us what we are today.
