WHAT IS THE BIG BARRIER IN THE WAY OF CHARITY ?


We work with the poor people of Shapla Chottor area, Rangpur, Bangladesh, to make their life little easier for them. from the beginning of our job with them we have been facing several barriers. They are social, religious & economic barriers.
In Bangladesh poor peoples are treated as lower class.There is a wall dividing them from the so called middle class & upper class. Though they are majority in numbers but they are neglected, and it seems they have taken this easily as their fate. Also they cannot mix up with other classes for various cause.
So when we first started our charity works with them they didn't accept us cordially. They have taken our help rather suspiciously. They thought there must be an evil will laying behind those charity.
Day by day this situation has changed. They now love us as one of their family member & believe that we are to them for something good not to exploit them. But other classes people still are looking us by their corner of eyes.
Among the beneficiaries of our foundation we have Cobblers & Sweepers. They are still treated as lower cast of the society. So some people of blind faith in religion forbade us not to go their places of living. Even some educated persons often ask us whether we take a meal or a drink in the house of a Cobbler Or Sweeper ? When we say we do, we can find a small ring of worn in the noses of these literate persons.
All these do not bother us. What bother us is money. Helping those poor need lot of money. A continuous crisis of every things belong to them. We are looking a pretty good source of money. Any one knows where to find it ?
