World Humanitarian Day 2015: Inspiring the world's humanity

Today is World Humanitarian Day with the theme Inspiring the world’s humanity. The theme calls on us to join any of the world’s humanitarian organisations and become an active messenger of humanity.
Humanity is saving human lives and alleviating suffering wherever it is found. It is rendering helping hand to improve the welfare and happiness of people. It is also moral of kindness extended to all human beings.
World Humanitarian Day is a time to recognize those who face danger and adversity in order to help them. It is also an opportunity to celebrate the spirit that inspires humanitarian work around the globe.
More than 100 million women, men and children need life. In a world that is digitally connected, each of us has the power and responsibility to inspire our fellow human beings to help others and create a more humane world.
Why are there so many people in need? Who will help them? Will you?
War, poverty, corrupt government, civil unrest etc. are the reasons for great number of people in need. For these reasons the people need to find protection and basic need to survive. People are dying everyday from hunger and dehydration due to lack of humanitarian assistance. These people are worthy and similar as any other person is, in blood and function.
People who have basic humanitarian need suffer from pressure to fit and greed yet they know not about the reality of the other side of the story that does not have much. There are some people who worry all about themselves and their quest to gain popularity in their community, while on the other hand, people fight to have endurance and hope for the will to live. Some who have enough basic needs are disturbed about there failure and question why everything goes wrong for them in their pursuit for happiness and riches while others wonder about surviving the next day and are happy with the little things they are given.
There is need for more action, sympathy and awareness amongst the global community. Humanitarian assistance needs to be communicated the more, so more people have the ability to give and respond to crisis.
Identify people with severe problems earlier and manage them better. Hungry people must be fed, sick people must be nursed, mentally and physically handicapped must be helped, orphan must be sheltered and maladjusted must be assisted. Together we can and must build a more humane world with a stronger commitment to life saving humanitarian action.
Donating your social media feeds for just one day can promote humanitarian action and help to give a voice to the voiceless by sharing their stories of crisis, hope and resilience.
Help somebody today. Into one heart alone may fall your song of cheer. Brighten the corner where you are.

  1. The moment we stop caring about others, we start dying.
