Key Ways To Do Charity This Festive Season

Christmas is usually termed as the season for giving.  If you are willing to make this precious day live up to this name, then don’t wait until 25th December to share. Here is a list of different ways you can do charity this festive season.

1. Visit an anonymous patient. Currently, Mulago hospital is full of patients, both from near and far. There are those however, who will either be too sick to move back home for the festivities, or may not have the means to. Shop like you are doing so for your own relative. Get up early in the morning, and move to Mulago. Choose a patient at random, and deliver all these goods to them.

2. Give out items you do not use. Whether you will donate your old clothes to the Church, Leave it at  a donation box outside a supermarket, or take it yourself to a children’s home, do it. Select all the items you do not use and are still in good shape. Teach your children to also do the same, and together, donate to the needy.

3. Friends day out. If giving as an individual is challenging for you, then do it as a group. Organize with a few friends, to visit a hospital, a baby’s home, or even prison. There are many who still need your love this Christmas. Spend an entire day there interacting with these people and listening to their stories.

4. Tips. With this, I do not mean the usual tips you make to impress your girlfriend at a bar or hotel. Take an initiative to pay someone more than they expect. It could be a Boda Boda man, a taxi conductor, a waitress, a shop keeper, only to mention but a few. Give 11,000 yet you are supposed to pay 1000. This is how blessings are accumulated.

5. Give offertory. It could be a pledge in a  church, or an extra on top of the amount you usually  throw in the basket. Do not be worried that the money may not be given to the persons with needs. Instead, be jolly in your heart, and know you gave it for that purpose.

So lets start giving!
