Do Aid Work in Africa

I think this is one of my top ten goals in life. While I sit here worrying about paying my rent, I sometimes think how selfish that sounds because I have this lovely apartment and so many people have so much less. I have my health and work and friends. But I don’t think I have given enough on a karmamic level. What I take from the world is so much more than I feel I have given and I want to even that out by helping people much less fortunate then me. It is always important to do little kind things in life but I want to take a year and give of myself freely to people who have less. I sound like a do-gooder but I think the world is in such a terrible state because there are not enough do-gooders in the world today.

I don’t know why, but this is something I’ve always felt like I had to do. Sometimes I wonder what the point of it all is, unless I can help somebody else. There are so many people in need, and I’m more than able to help them. While most of us are off purchasing the latest technology and fashion, there are people who out of no choice of their own, are born into poverty and sickness. I don’t really know where I can start, or how I can help, but I really want to do something for somebody else, for no benefit other than just to help them survive. Just feel like I have to put someone else’s needs in front of my own…
