In 1985, Coluche a very popular artist decides to create the association "resto du coeur". 

He created this association with the aim of helping people in need.

 This association allows to offer meals to the homeless persons, to allow the people in difficulties to buy little expensive products and to have a chance to take out there. 

Every year, a lot of people like you and me donate generously money or food to " Restos du coeur " so that they are offered to the needy people. 
Moreover, this association is supported by  artists like  Jean-Jacques Goldman who  created the first song of this association " Les Enfoirés " to collect some money for the association. 

 This is the way  the band of "les enfoirés" was born,which since helps and supports the people  It is for it, that I shall wish to integrate an association later.

 To help other people is an act of solidarity and generosity which I approve of enormously.

 A lot of people suffer from  unemployment, from  poverty, etc., and ask to be helped. This kind of association restores faith in  humanity and allows to make people feel that they are not alone and that there will be always somebody to help them.

 It is the message which I want to continue to make pass in the coming years, by joining or by creating an association.

Unicorn's article...

For what charity cause I would like to get involved ? For me, it's a hard question, because I think that all charitable causes are good to be defended. But, I choose to talk about countries victims of natural disasters.

        So as an adult (and, I hope, a nurse) I would like to help in case of emergency. 

In these moments, people lost everything. They are really vulnerable and they need to be reassured. All the victims, meaning millions of peoples when a part of a country is ruined, need care. 

Emergency care for many persons, but especially first aid for everybody.

        Natural disaster encompass many things the media don't always talk about : cyclons, floods, landslides, droughts, tsunamis and volcanic risks.

        The risk of natural disaster is, in fact, linked to the Human Developpement : 
a poor population means an harder pressure on the environment (pollution etc). 
Furthermore, these people are more vulnerable : there is only basic management of the environment, whereas the risks are known, no control of the settlement (people can live in very dangerous zones) and even less preparatory measures in case of disaster. 
So, the consequences are even more terrible for the victims.

       

It's true that,  most of the time, people know what happened. 

We say « Yes it's sad » and it's over.

 Associations try to get food and money. 

But when I see this kind of information, I can't stop myself thinking about what happened in reality, in the present, in the country. People trapped, looking for their families...

        It must be very hard to go to work in this situation, but if I can, I hope to have the bravery to help.

Canada prepares for the U.S. election debacle and it’s hysterically funny

Akaniie's article...

I have to admit that the world we live in today isn't the prettiest one. 

Even now, wars are going on, people are being forced to move away from their land and some might be in danger right now. 

Poverty still is a big issue and inequality among us is common and sometimes unfair. 

I told you, our world isn't the prettiest one, but it's all we have.

Now that I said this, shall I add that it's the reason why we should protect it and do our possible to save our ''home'' ? 

I could tell you that once I grow up I'll get myself involved in some charity stuff, maybe give my money or write some speeches to bring more people into my cause.

Alas this isn't what'll do. 

Even if the state of the world is unstable, joining one of them won't really help.

I don't fully believe that giving money will change anything nor acting in group and being on the field where the problem lies. 

I think the issue is much bigger than that.

 All we can do with these charities is to decrease their problems temporarily.

 If someone has to do something it shouldn't be us but the leaders of the world. 

So now, I think that the charities are something good and I'm not against any of them since they do help people and bring hope beneath the dark sky above our heads. 

But the thing is that the key to world peace and happiness lies within those ''leaders'' hands. 

They, have the power to change our world and that's why all we really have to do is chosing the good ones, bringing the right people to the right places so they can do what they can to help the world getting better. 

However finding the good ones isn't an easy task because even if we can write it down on some paper, talk about it to our friends, the whole world, so big does not know that ''this'' person exists and can change the world positively. 

We need some involvement from both parts. We should bring our ideas and be listened by those who have power combined we may get a chance to change everything.

Of course, the NGOs are opening the path, but their movement is limited and the involvement needed is much bigger. 

They can't save the world on their own or solely with people's help. That's why we need good rulers and people, on top of our countries. 

Lastly, the reason all of us should think properly about the issue and people who are going to rule the world is that nobody wants to leave a broken planet for our family and loved one to live on.

Yep, all I want is that those figureheads won't lead us the wrong way. 

We are the one voting for them so our voices still count even if it's not much but if we do not take action we'll also be part of the fall of the planet. 

In order to make it a better place we should wisely chose the one we're giving the world to.
