ABOUT US

When we think about charity, our minds often go straight to wealth, money, and material things. But that view is limited, because it makes charity sound like something only rich people can do, and the poor cannot.

 

The truth is, charity is not about money. Charity is love in action.

 

If you see your brother or sister drifting off the right path, you can pull them aside and tell them, “This isn’t right. This won’t help you.” And if they are wise, they will consider it. Charity can be advice. It can be a warning. It can be showing up to visit someone when they’re not at their best. It can be checking on a friend, encouraging someone who feels forgotten, or helping a neighbor carry a burden.

 

Instead of pulling each other down, we lift each other up.

 

And we also have to be honest: sometimes we have love, but we limit it with prejudice. But that’s not charity. Real love goes beyond tradition, beyond race, beyond religion, and beyond culture. It rises above all of that.

 

That’s why we encourage people to practice charity without discrimination, because love is meant for everyone.

Encourage to Practice Charity, without Discrimination

When we talk about peace, many people think it simply means “no fighting.” But real peace is more than silence, and it’s more than avoiding conflict. Where there is two or three, there will be always be conflict but the problem is not conflict, but how we handle it. Peace is a way of living. It’s choosing respect over insult, patience over anger, and understanding over pride.

 

The truth is, we don’t all think the same, we don’t all come from the same background, and we won’t always agree. But we can still live together in peace if we learn how to handle disagreement with maturity. We can speak truth without being cruel. We can correct someone without humiliating them. We can hold firm convictions without treating others like enemies.

 

Peace starts in the home. If children grow up surrounded by shouting, insults, and disrespect, they often carry that same spirit into the world. But if children grow up seeing forgiveness, calm conversations, and mutual honor, they learn that peace is possible. What we practice becomes what we pass on.

 

That’s why we encourage people to be peacemakers. To be quick to listen and slow to speak. To refuse gossip, revenge, and unnecessary drama. To settle issues early instead of letting small problems become big ones. To build bridges instead of burning them.

 

Because when people choose peace, families heal, communities become safer, and everyone has room to grow.

Encourage people to live together in Peace

Life teaches us to chase. More money, more success, more attention, more stuff. But the truth is, our wants never stop. And while we’re busy searching, we can lose the people and the moments that matter most. We can neglect our families because we’re “trying to make it.” We can forget our parents while chasing the next chapter of our lives. And without noticing, we become restless, always reaching, never satisfied.

 

Thanksgiving is a reminder to pause. Even in difficult seasons, people have chosen gratitude. In 1620, the Native Americans helped the Pilgrims survive. During the American Revolution, George Washington set aside time for thanksgiving. In the middle of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln believed it was still necessary to give thanks, and he declared it a national day.

 

That’s what we want to inspire: a moment to stop, reflect, and give thanks. Especially for those who feel like they’re missing something. We want to encourage people to rest their hearts, look around, and be grateful.

Encourage to pass positive values

We all have value, and it’s not measured only by what we own.

 

When people lack material things, it’s easy to start believing they’re failures. A parent may feel ashamed because they don’t have money to leave behind. A child may feel small because they can’t make their parents proud. And without realizing it, we waste years trying to prove our worth through things that can be lost overnight.

 

But our real value runs deeper. It’s in our character. It’s in the love we show, the respect we give, the example we set, and the values we pass down.

 

And here’s the truth: character is contagious. Kids don’t only listen to what we say, they absorb what they see. If a child grows up in abuse, they may learn abuse. If disrespect is normal in the home, the next generation can begin to believe disrespect is normal everywhere. Why? Because what surrounds us shapes us. If you stay around drunks long enough, you might start drinking too.
