Help the Victims of Natural Calamities
Many people may be afflicted with natural disasters such as flooding, famine, drought or starvation. Should people in rich areas extend their help to those unfortunate victims?
I think it is of crucial importance to render immediate help since we are emotionally affected by the sufferings of the numerous people in calamity areas, and our sense of humanity and sympathy tells us to reach out a hand to them. We must take action in thinking of ways to help instead of staying where we are with folded arms and indifferent response.
There are many ways of doing this. We can send relief workers into the problem areas like doctors, nurses, technicians or workers. This is a form of rendering professional help. Other practical forms of help include collecting and sending food and clothes into these areas. These useful items will
serve their purposes very well in the absence of corruptional officials. A far more important way is providing them with technical, agricultural and health education. This will deftnitely be a more costly involvement but it is effective in building up their economy Or developing it for their future survival.
