We dedicate the month of March to turning the spotlight on Women’s issues.
For millions of girls, it is a constant fear how long they will be allowed to go to school/ college.
For millions of young women, there is no opportunity to express when they would like to get married nor the option to choose their life partner.
For millions of women, it’s a struggle to make their own decision regarding their pregnancy.
For millions of women, it’s beyond their imagination to ask for what is rightfully theirs!
As you prepare to celebrate Women’s Day with flowers and presents for the women in your life, use your privilege to take a small action to support NGOs working to secure a better future for women.

“The role of giving, above all, is to help us live out our ideals, our beliefs, our best opinion of ourselves, so that when we look into the mirror, we can see someone who as a citizen takes responsibility. Someone who as a neighbour cares.” - Peter Drucker
This Tuesday of this month of Valentine, do an act that is sure to make you love yourself! Make a donation to an NGO and see the difference that you can create!
People often shy away from giving because they feel that their funds might not be utilised in the correct manner or that it will not create the impact they want to see. Which is why, today we are asking you to take responsibility for your gift, get involved, put your heart into it, go beyond before you #Click2Give! When you make a gift of a donation to someone or to an organisation, instead of testing them to see if they would use the money in a fruitful manner, or finding fault with them in the end, be proactive! Put some love upfront into your giving.
Just as you would want to get to know the person you love, talk to them/ read about them to learn more about why they do what to do, what are the challenges they face, what are their aspirations. Go visit the organisation you are donating to and see how your money could be transforming lives and be an active contributor. Make the effort to go beyond before your transaction, your involvement will help you to trust their actions. The agency should be theirs after all - on how they can create positive change for themselves! Observe how your donation given with your involvement brings you immense joy. If your donation makes the intended difference, you will dance with joy, and if it did not, you would be wiser about how difficult it is and what else or what more you could do to help! You are sure to love the person you see in the mirror, a person of compassion taking responsibility for the world around you!

When you really love someone, something you enjoy doing is giving them gifts. You invest a lot of time in picking the right ones – would it be something they would like, something they need and were hoping someone would give, would they like the colour, would it be of the right size and fit, would it be safe and durable, etc. Would you give them something old, broken or not functional, would you just gift something you simply wanted to discard? This week, make in-kind donations to organisations working for a cause close to your heart. Spend some time to understand what their needs are, talk to them and get to know how you could help them. Maybe it's a local shelter that needs fresh produce or a local hospital that needs a batch of fresh medicines or toys for their children’s ward. Really immerse yourself in the experience and you will feel the same joy as you would when giving presents to a loved one. And don't just send them the gift - go give it to them, wrapped beautifully in your love! Just as you would spend time with your loved one, watching their reaction as they open the gifts, do the same with the in-kind gifts you donate this season of love! Spend a few precious moments watching people unwrap and use your pre-loved gift: show them the wonderful ways of using your favourite gadget or toy or wearing the garment that was dear to you, read a chapter from the book that was your inspiration, serve the dish you cooked with love. Happy gifting this season of love!
