HELPING ANGELS- Call for Ambassdors - Please read...

Krishna says, the ignorant work for their own profit, Arjuna; the wise work for the welfare of the world, without thought to themselves. By abstaining from work you will confuse the ignorant, who are engrossed in their actions. Perform all work carefully, guided by compassion.
Bhagavad Gita 3.10-26

Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Christianity. Galatians 6.2

Rendering help to another is the function of all human beings.
Jainism. Tattvarthasutra 5.21
All men are responsible for one another.
Judaism. Talmud, Sanhedrin 27b

The best of men are those who are useful to others.
Islam. Hadith of Bukhari
Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.
Christianity. 1 Corinthians 10.24

Without selfless service are no objectives fulfilled;
In service lies the purest action.
Sikhism. Adi Granth, Maru, M.1, p. 992

I don't want to get more philosophical but just want throw out from some religious scriptures which we all believe in. All these words from scriptures of different religions at one time or other, point to an important fact that "We all are here for reason to help others". We have the privilege and humanly wealth to lend hands to others when in need.


Each and everyone of you are in different corners of the world and there is one thing we all have in common. We all are Indians by root and we are already enriching others life via this media. Sulekha had a given us this common platform to connect every indians all over world. We been happily using this wonderful sublime media to connect each other via blogs, groups, forums to share our thoughts, views and ideas on every bit of things we like and believe.


My master mind, just got indulged itself and popped a good idea which I been thinking a lot about and found courage to share to you all today.


Purpose: How can we use this endless media to connect people who are in need of help (whether its monetary or few encouraging words or physical help) to the people who can really help.


You might say that there are lots of NGO's and non-profit organizations which does that the same old thing. Thats true. There are thousands of non-profit organization which rooted themselves and took upon projects for the improvement of our country. I won't deny that but they only concentrate on separate common project like by educating kids, Orphanages, old ages, exterminating poverty and so forth.


Where is the need for an individual is getting addressed here whether he/she is rich or poor ?!


I believe a network like "HELPING ANGELS" which goes beyond a cause, religion, caste, persons financial status is indeed needed. There is a unavoidable certain need for this kind of network which can cross boundaries to connect any individual who need help and who can helped.

I like to share some practical situation which I came across recently. I have friend whose office coworker son needs a bone marrow transplant in USA and the party is willing to take any risk and spend any kind of money. They conducted lots of camps to find any matching donor. They were not able find it. They are still trying.


Let say at the same time, there is a person who has an exact match and willing to save the life in the other part of the world. If they can't connect, how can it be possible to save a life? It will possible through this "HELPING ANGELS" network which can be a bridge to connect people in two ends of the rope to save the circle of life.


Another example, there is middle class family who found their only son who his 7 year old needs a big heart operation for him to be alive. They can't afford the expenses. They can only come up with 75% of the total money need. They still 25% of it. There are lot of kind people out there who like to help others. Let say one of us in sulekha from another part of the world is a kind enough to help. How can find each other ? This network will help to save a life.


"If there is a WILL, there is always a WAY to do it"

Action:I totally urge everybody who check out this blog to consider this option to be a Ambassador for this initiative. Please contact me at helpindia2007@yahoo.com if you are interested.


Its a simple initiative which we can take up in this Sulekha media just to connect people of two ends. Its that as simple to help somebody. It doesn't need to lot of effort, you don't need to go anywhere or don't need money. There is no comparison to the satisfaction which will get when you help others. It just take a simple thought to do it..

What you can do: If you know of somebody who can be relative or neighbor or anybody, who needs help in any nature.. Please tell us. You or we will announce it thru this sulekha blog and if somebody is willing to help. We just connect them each other. Once the circle is complete, we just helped both of them by connecting them.


Current need:
I came to know that one of Top blogger, John. F. Williams is in need of some monetary help for his project to build and run a old age home. Anything would really help his undertaking of this huge effort.
