Fundraising
is very popular these days, especially when it comes to helping other
people and there are plenty of organizations that are in need of help,
these organizations need help in a form of money or product or services
to enable them to support their important activities. These activities
may assist in the important things like shelters, clothes, food,
medicine and services. In Australian generally access to good quality
health care is available through Medicare and medicine via the
government pharmaceutical benefit scheme. What is increasingly lacking
is access free medical due to low doctor rebates and dental check-ups.
Even the burden of gaining access to expert consultation to these
organizations depends on the organization’s fundraising ideas and
their ability to execute them. Some people may say that they are not
capable of helping other people because they don’t have enough or extra
money to give, but then again, everyone can help just by giving some
effort, time and dedication or even a letter of support can boost morale
at these important community institutions.
On the other hand, volunteering and fundraising is also one of the best activities that can be teach to our children, fundraising in Australia is not just about money but can also be a teaching tool as well. Volunteering and fundraising
is a great way of teaching children good values and manners, exposing
them different people in different situations and helping them to
appreciate what they have rather than what they don’t have. Exposure to
these kind of activities together with different fundraising ideas
can help them realized and appreciate the value of helping those who
are in need of our help. I find it is also great way for young people
to become responsible and increase their feeling of pride and
self-worth. There is nothing like the pride one feels by helping an
organization meets its fundraising goals and knowing that it will
help a cause that is important to them. Don’t be afraid to show your
children the other side of life, maybe the darker less privileged side.
What is often surprising to them and adults alike is the feeling of
community that exists there. People who not only know each other but
also rely and trust each other. Many affluent communities hardly know
the person next door making these “better” communities isolated and
feeling detached.
There can be different forms of fundraising ideas in Australia depends on the organization mission, fundraising
may be because of a friend who is sick and in need of funds to be able
to help pay the hospital bills, or it can be done to be able to help the
community or places that were recently hit by typhoon, or simply
because they are in a mission of helping other people when it comes to
medical services or even food feeding programs to continue reaching out
those places that are asking for help and being able to expose children
in this kind of activity really is a good idea to make them become
responsible even in their early stage.
Fundraising
may include selling goods, or doing some activities or even services
that they then offer in exchange to money or anything that is related
to their missions of earning funds; and through fundraising children
can easily understand the importance of hard work not just for
themselves but for the greater good, letting them see how happy, how
enjoyable it is to help, realizing the value of life at an early age can
help them appreciate the life that they already have so they will grow
up with perseverance and respect to their fellow man.
