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

People

have different views about whether we should give support to

people

in need directly or rely on charities. In my view, both ways can and should be considered equally. There are two main reasons why some would rather offer help directly than donate to charity organizations.

Firstly

, benefactors might not only want to give money, clothes, food,... to underprivileged figures but

also

wish to meet them in person.

This

way donators can

also

provide mental support through talks, or see for themselves how they have had an impact on poor lives.

Secondly

, not every charity is trustworthy. There are thousands of charity scams each year, with the loss of billions of dollars. Some

people

are worried that they might

also

be fooled,

therefore

they choose to donate without any intermediaries.

On the other hand

, many individuals consider giving money to charities as the optimal choice because of these organizations’ profession. Most charities are well trained to hold charitable events effectively, so they are more skilled in helping

people

in need than individuals.

This

can be crucial under urgent circumstances when experience makes a difference,

such

as helping residents who are suffering from floods or fire.

Also

, various members or branches in a charitable institution increase their access to a wider area.

Therefore

, more underprivileged

people

can receive help. In conclusion, while the two given methods are perceived to have their own advantages, I think

people

should consider doing both depending on their situations. Either way, they are taking good actions for their local community.
