Donating food and teaching self help
Charity is a great act of kindness and we often see organizations seeking help from kind people to donate money so that they can help feed people. It is good that many people do this and helps a lot of people across the world.
However, it is also good to donate food as such so that hungry people are fed immediately. A lot of organizations do that too. Youtube is full of videos of people, temples, and others donating food to the hungry. A heartwarming picture with old and homeless people being given hot food and their smiles actually warm the heart even though we are just onlookers.
Why not teach a person a skill so that they do not have to go hungry again? Old and homeless people have to be looked after but the younger ones need not depend on charity.
If people are healthy but yet jobless and without means of providing for themselves, they can be adopted by communities and taught skills or given jobs according to their skills or education so that they do not have to go hungry.
Steemit and blogging can also be introduced to such persons and if they are interested, they can take up the challenge and create their own blog and start earning. It would also be a means to bring out their creative side.
If you come across such people, spend a few minutes and try to help them out instead of just giving them temporary happiness.
Steem and its related dapps have the power to change lives and have already done so through the various communities. One among the first would be @thealliance

for those homeless people who are healthy skills are great - that being said U.S America is a third world country when it comes to the safety net and care of her people in general - fact in u.s America many of the homeless are like in other countries addicts - but there is also a huge percentage that have mental illnesses and U.S America does not take care of the people with mental health issues - there is no real care net and it shows - the healthcare system fails so many and there is also a percentage of people who became homeless because they could not pay their bills - not lazy people but people who worked 2-3 jobs low paying and just could not make ends meet - so yes skills are great but for this country to fix the problem as a whole need a living wage for all - and medicare for all - before i was sick i had a project called the mutant house project that was geared to provide a place to live and work from for people who were struggling and also those without a home - i agree we need more things like this but we also need to fix how this country is run
