Some people prefer to help or support directly in the local community for people who need it; however, others prefer to give money to the national or private charities. Discuss both views and give your own opinions.

It is a controversial topic about the way of philanthropy, either provide direct support or donate to charities. Personally, I prefer donations rather than direct help in the local community. In

this

essay, I will discuss both opinions and explain my idea with examples.

Firstly

, promoting local aid can be done by providing personal support on-site.

This

means that participants who want personally assists have the possibility.

For instance

,

people

can distribute food or clothes to the vulnerable, or donate cash to the households in need directly.

In addition

, direct

donation

to those in need provides a sense of warmth.

However

, direct philanthropy is not suitable for someone who has sufficient funds but no extra time for assisting others on-site.

On the other hand

, national or private charities,

such

as UNICEF, try to combat global suffering for famine, epidemics, violence against children or women, child labour, environmental protection and animal welfare. I believe that donating money to those institutions can reduce global suffering and help

people

around the world. Even if many individuals only make a small

donation

, a lot of earnings can be raised to improve living conditions worldwide.

That is

to say that many African

countries

are suffering from stark poverty.

People

of these

countries

have no shelter, clothes, food, and even pure drinking water.

Therefore

, citizens from rich

countries

donate to the organization in order to calm the unbearable poverty of African nations. In conclusion, help in any approach is praisable, while direct

donation

may not be able to provide for some

people

who are busy. Personally, I prefer the

donation

to charities because it can help with global suffering

countries

and

people

.
