The door bell rings and there, on Ruths doorstep, is an old woman asking for money to help the aged. She turns on the television, hears sad music and sees a picture of a wide-eyed child dying of hunger in Africa with an appeal for money to help the child. Ruth then goes shopping for a dress to wear to that evenings large party for the rich and famous. The ticket cost her a small fortune, but she doesnt mind because most of the money is going to a charity that fights AIDS. She feels good about going because shes helping the sick. Within five minutes of walking down the street, Ruth has passed a charity shop. She doesnt stop because she doesnt think shed find a suitable dress thereits full of old, secondhand clothes. But, many other people enter and buy all sorts of bargains. Edna, a little old lady, looks after the shop. Any profit it has made goes to a cancer charity. Now that she has retired, she has plenty of spare time to offer her services for free.For people like Yao Ming, Ruth and Edna, charity is a virtue that holds the same importance in life as faith and hope.“As you look back on your life, the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things for others,”said Scottish author Henry Drummond.1.
