Verulam resident Simon Dehal writes:
Child and family welfare societies play a pivotal role in caring for vulnerable children – those orphaned, abused and neglected, and those in foster care.
While the government is to be lauded for providing some financial contributions to such benevolent organisations, there is unfortunately always a shortfall on their budgets because of enormous operational costs.
Expenditure mostly exceeds income.
Welfare institutions therefore have to host charity fairs, among others, to generate income to alleviate financial shortfalls.
Such fairs have threefold advantages.
The organisation benefits from the substantial financial returns, the attending public are provided with good family entertainment at low cost, and most importantly needy and destitute individuals and families are given a better quality of life.
To quote from the Bible, every good deed done to one in need is done to God, and any good deed withheld from one in need is one withheld from God.
The public are strongly urged to attend these fairs, especially in their vicinity, in the spirit of Ubuntu and caring for the needy and downtrodden.
Welfare societies and their management and staff, the host of philanthropic volunteers, magnanimous sponsors and attending public’s endeavours are greatly appreciated.
