With the bout of natural disasters happening all around the world, it's almost unfair that we have the choice to remain in this little bubble thinking everything is alright, everything is safe. It's almost as though there's a split screen between us, the fortunate and the not so. How different would our lives be if by a split chance, we were born in these nations of poverty, or those in constant battle against natural disasters?
From young, I've always thought one day I'd be able to do something aside from just donating the little I have to spare. I'd be helping people rebuild lives, and extracting life lessons from them in return. I've always believed that would be the best transaction life could ever give me, after all these sheltered years.
I just never knew where to start, never knew who to look for, never knew what I could give. I'd love to work in an NGO, again I don't know who and where I should start searching. Do I need special certs and undergo special courses? If anyone reading has any special pointers, do leave a comment. All comments are moderated as usual.
At the end of the day, I'm constantly burnt out by work. Not knowing why I'm doing what I'm doing. Not understanding why we're slaves to the daily grind, just for the sake of the little money we get in return and nothing else. How much more meaningful it would be if the stresses you go through would benefit so much more people that really need us.
