In the post Money is the root of all evil I said "The root of all evil is not money. It is the human lust for wealth and power". Money, like a knife or atomic energy can be used for evil or good. While examples of usage of money in a negative manner abound, the use of money in a positive manner is harder to find and is generally associated with wealthy philanthropists.
I thought it was impossible for an average person like me to contribute money directly to needy people across the world except through charitable organizations until this fathers day when my son sent me the best gift I have ever received. It was $25 contributed to http://www.kiva.org/ which I could direct to any needy person or group around the world helping them achieve their goal. Once they achieved their goal the $25 was returned to me, which of course I (being generous with my son's money) contributed to others. So far that initial $25 of my son's money has helped me help two people (with families or others attached to them) become independent. So far I have successfully contributed this same $25 twice to help two groups achieve their goals and self-sufficiency. If I keep contributing this same $25 over and over again how many people can I uplift? I don't know. I will keep on doing it until I loose that money.
I have no connection to the Kiva organization except as described above. There may be other similar organizations or avenues for us to help our fellow beings throughout the world. If you know of any please share this with us by commenting on this post.

The best love for someone is heartful care rather than money

To believe that the warm, beautiful, trust, dignity, and strong, not decadent, empty, humiliate yourselves, injure others.
