Giving is the ability to make someone a benefactor of something.

This week's topic in The Earn, Spend, Give community is all about the best way to give to improve or develop our community

I will start by saying that people should understand that giving to someone doesn't mean it is compulsory to solve the person's problem completely.

Some always give up on giving because they feel it's not enough.

You can give the little you can, as long as it's going to do something meaningful in the person's life.

That being said, know it that you mustn't have in abundance before making someone a benefactor of something.

It doesn't mean you should also rig yourself to make someone a benefactor of something.

Ways to give to improve or develop our community

Make the first push

I remember an uncle of mine that checked our community and saw a few children in school.
He made inquiries about why they weren't coming to school and found out it was because of school fees and school uniforms, which he provided and the story changed.
My brother went ahead to supply them with writing materials, which he stopped because of how things are.

But it encouraged children to do well academically, which their parents saw the benefits and couldn't hesitate to continue supporting them.

When you give and impact on a child, you are creating a pathway to greatness and positive growth.

And in most cases, a first push can trigger more effort.

Reduce the burden

When someone receives something, no matter how little it is.
It will surely solve a part of one's problem, it will reduce the workload.

So, like I said before.
It's not a must to solve all the problems completely.

Water was a big challenge in the community.
One had to go far away to the stream to get water, until someone offered help to reduce the hardship.

He didn't make water to be available inside every person's home.
But he was able to bring it close by opening a pore hole in the center of the community.
Which operates on solar, though the solar was provided by another person.

I will say he gave everybody a small piece of benefiting.

Give to Earn

This is the act of making someone a benefactor of something that he/she will have to work further for it.
And in the process, expand the chain.

In the sense that, the first benefactor will work hard, earn more and extend it to another person to another.

In a community where one person always works hard, earn and give will never grow without impacting on another person.

Give the other person the opportunity to learn and grow to give back to another person.

Give right

I had a friend then in school that came to me crying of hunger.

Managing things, especially food stuffs has always been my thing, but during that period I had none.
I was also planning to shop for a few things.

Glad I had some money with me which I gave her some and took some to buy a few things (food items) for myself.

Well, I was surprised to see my friend back to join me eat the small food I prepared, while she used the money I gave her to buy a dress.

She has many dresses, but she used the money for food to get another dress for herself.
She knew she will still feed from me later on.

So, just imagine when you give someone something and it's been misused.

Will that bring any growth?

So, know who you give to.
Once the person starts showing signs of misusing the opportunity given to him/her.

It's best to give another person the opportunity.

Because a gift should be beneficial not Wasted.

Hopefully, I didn't disappoint with the limited points.
