Giving
Everyone of us want to make a difference in our society, at least help someone in need. However, we are easily discouraged to take actions because we do not know where to start and what to do. Moreover, we tend to think that we do not have enough money to give to others. As a graduate student for a long time, I also struggle to find the way to give.
"What can I do to honor elders who created the world I live in? What and How can I give?”
“We do not exist without our elders who happened to be ignored in our current society. We should re-think and appreciate what elders have done to create the world we are living in.”
Although I do not have financial leverage to directly help others, I keep still seeking the way to help the people who I care very much.
"What can I do to honor elders who created the world I live in? What and How can I give?”
When I saw former president Bill Clinton spoke in a TV show, I realized that I should not try to make a big impact on people in the beginning. I can always start from somewhere I can do “something.” I realized that my voice would be strong if I truly believe in my passion. My contribution for honoring elders in the world could be to keep reaching out and informing people to see out world differently by writing and speaking anytime I have opportunities.
My message is this:
“We do not exist without our elders who happened to be ignored in our current society. We should re-think and appreciate what elders have done to create the world we are living in.”
We have enough for everyone if we decide to share with others. Although I do not have much to share with others, I still do have “something” to give. Giving does not have to be money or things. All of us can give “knowledge,” “skills,” “love,” and “understanding” to the person who is sitting next to you.
We are just a small group of people who would like to challenge the current elderly care system, and try to create a home within their community by sustaining their culture, lifestyle, and social connections.
We are dreaming the success of “Us Build a Home for Mothers and Fathers”
Together with people with good heart, skills, knowledge, and passion, we challenge to change the elder care from institution to community approach.
Please let me know if you would like to join us!
