Rise Against Hunger

Personal Message:

I'm really grateful to the Almighty for all the blessings he has bestowed upon me. One of the fundamental teachings of my belief system is to be caring and compassionate to fellow human beings. If a person feels the pain of his or her fellow human being, and wishes the same comfort and good life for others which he wishes for himself, it is a natural reaction to give in charity, to ease this suffering. Inequality and poverty cause hardships in many communities, and this is part of the test that the Almighty gives to those that are comfortable or financially stable. This test is to ensure we share our temporary wealth with His creation and show compassion to those less fortunate. After all, our wealth was given to us by Him, and it can also be taken from us by Him. It is, therefore, upon us, as our duty, to help our fellow brothers and sisters in need and to share compassion for those who are suffering, as helping is a natural act of humanity.
