How To Bring Out Your Humane Spirit This World Humanitarian Day
Each year, the 19th of August is observed as the World Humanitarian Day, a day recognized by the United Nations as an occasion to pay a tribute to all those who risk their lives by participating in humanitarian aid work. This year, the main theme of the World Humanitarian Day focuses on how the civilians who get caught up in turmoil and conflicts, which disrupt their lives and often uproot their families, are not the right targets and deserve our support in all forms.
The idea behind this day is to encourage each and every human being to contribute to humanitarian services in their individual capacity, so as to work towards improving the lives of those who suffer at the hands of wars, calamities, and other disasters.
Here are some of the ways in which you can participate in humanitarian aid work, to channel your inherent humane spirit to spread compassion in the world.
1. Invoke The Humanitarian Spirit In People
The aim of the World Humanitarian Day is to invoke the humanitarian spirit in the citizens of the world on a global scale, and you can contribute to this cause by encouraging those around you to participate in humanitarian aid work. Convince your friends and family members to join you in some activity that leads to the betterment of the community. Remind them how their individual actions can make a global impact if they choose to support the oppressed and traumatized sections of the society. This gentle nudge from your end will help generate active participants for the humanitarian movement.
2. Make Your Mark By Doing Something Positive For Someone Else
Your little acts of kindness can create an ocean of compassion, one droplet at a time. Volunteering for an NGO that supports the civilians stuck in a war zone or the people who have lost everything to a natural disaster is a great way to contribute to the general well-being of the less fortunate sections of society. Even small deeds of compassion, such as helping an underprivileged child with his or her education or supporting a senior citizen who does not have any family to rely on, can go a long way in making the world a better place.
3. Increase Public Awareness Regarding Humanitarian Aid
Most human beings are born with a natural tendency of wanting to help those in need. Despite having this inherent kindness in their hearts, many people are hesitant in helping out the community because they are unaware of the proper channels that can assist them in doing so. Conduct awareness camps in your neighborhood to educate the locals regarding the ways in which they can participate in humanitarian aid work. Connect them with the local NGO’s that contribute significantly to this cause and make them aware of the ways in which they can support this initiative. With the required information at their disposal, a larger number of people will definitely join this noble mission.
These are some of the ways in which you can make a lasting impact on the world by offering your support to humanitarian causes.
