This is a wonderful initiative, really admire you for doing it. Well, I understand there will always be spammers and those who are takers but the world does not end here and I am totally in agreement with you. If I take my example, I run a travel blog and community forum promoting responsible travel in the remote Himalayas by doing small, small causes up there and help the locals living a harsh life up there in one way or the other. Every year we take a large group of tourists/travellers giving our knowledge and contacts to them plus an expert company in those remote regions. We would promote the responsible travel by showing them how we travel, do's and dont's and then will ask them to mandatorily participate in executing some causes like distributing school stationaries for local children of those remote villages, helping distribute sanitary pads and make women aware about the benefits of it, help some Buddhist monastery get an equipment, etc.. All in all everyone has to contribute to some cause individually so that that feeling of responsible travel and spreading smiles by doing causes grows in them. We expected only 10% of people participating in those Mega Meets change and continue to travel in that manner, however, the results in last five years have been beyond expectations !!
Like someone said, where there is will there is a way. We followed and succeeded. Yes, there are takers and there will always be takers but that shouldn't stop us from doing good deeds and noble causes....
I will surely write few posts on the topics to raise some money for those remote Himalayan village children whom we can buy some stationary for his school year that cannot be afforded by them or an article on a buddhist monastery looking to get a heater or a water geyser fitted in their bathrooms to beat the cold. I will check with my local contacts and write the articles. Thank you for providing the opportunity !!
Will always keep some of my voting power for your lovely initiative to participate in this noble cause. Could not help myself to upvote and resteem this post !!
Cheers...
That's awesome!! I really like your traveling "Mega Meets" and it sounds like you guys are changing a lot of peoples lives. I totally agree there will be takers but I'm not bothered by it in the least. Those who need it should have the opportunity to receive it regardless. I think that a lot of the "homeless" or "Houseless" people are in the situation they are because of lack of opportunity.
Totally, agree. Just got off from the phone after talking to few locals from Ladakh and Spiti in the Himalayas. Will be posting a couple of articles on the weekend in this series of "needs" connection to raise funds for them.
Thank you for providing this wonderful opportunity which will help us spread more smiles in the Himalayas!!
Looking forward to them!
This is awesome - let's give your Buddhist friends a heater and the kids some stationary. What a wonderful start to this beautiful initiative! Upvoted
