...cord of ensuring that the funds reach the targeted and needy groups. (These organizations use voluntary skills of professional people like accountants, lawyers, doctors, and engineers who donate their time and knowledge to welfare institutions by injecting valuable professional expertise. Such professional and voluntary workers have always been the linch pin/focal point of these great, well-known NGOs.) Having answered the crucial question of how, the critical question of why we should help must also be answered. It is easy enough to make remarks such as “we should not help”, “we should not bother”, “it is not our problem”, “and we should not spend our hard earned money for them”. Firstly, I believe that it is the moral and ethical responsibility of the richer nations to show generosity, kindness and consideration towards the poorer countries and its peoples. It is our responsibility to break their vicious cycle of poverty. Many of us have given to charities because we have seen the soul-destroying poverty into which many children are born, in which they grow up, live as adults, and in which, often prematurely, they die. They live in appalling conditions, they easily fall prey to disease, and their children cannot achieve a proper education.

By providing schools, teacher training colleges, textbooks, and teachers, we are giving them the tools they need to break the cycle of illiteracy.

The United States, under the Marshall Plan of 1946, pumped money into their allies and former enemies in Europe and Japan to help uplift these countries from the devastation and destruction of the war. As a result, the United States not only helped these former enemies, but also created new markets and consumers for their own companies to flourish. Today, 50 years after the Marshall Plan, the United States still benefits by selling goods and services to the Europeans, the Germ...
