“Charity, like the sun, brightens every object on which it shines.”
Confucius
Just as the sun’s rays warm all living things indiscriminately, our charity can be extended to all, regardless of their station in life. When giving, we can:
- go beyond those we know, and
- go beyond members of our own communities.
We can help those around us regardless of their backgrounds or circumstances.
