Charity Can do Wonders 

Being a Muslim, We are duty bound to pay zakat every year. This money can do wonders if we donate it to the orphanages. This can buy them the daily commodities and food that we always take for granted. But the most important thing here is that, while we are helping them and even we are donating them our old used goods, that should be done with dignity. These orphans have already lost their parents and homes. Sense of deprivation already has scared their minds. The last thing they need will be losing their self respect. So while you are spending your money to help them, try not to make it a self projecting deed. Being a Muslim, we know that the real reward of helping the deprived comes from Allah. 

Apart from the monetary help, we can do much more than we think. Being a lawyer, one can fight their cases free of charge. Being a doctor, one can offer them free medical checkups and services from time to time. Being an educator, one can offer free of cost tuitions to a number of orphans; and the list goes on. In our own little ways, we can bring little bundles of joys into their lives. This is the way to pay our gratitude to our Creator, Almighty Allah for bestowing us with the giving hand, not the receiving one.
