Open the doors for people living in poverty,
Open the doors if you care about humanity,
Open the doors for the poor in society out there...............
Richie spice.

There is a certain pull in the words in this song. The call to humanity to open up the doors for the poor has for long lingered in our ears. The story of poverty has been told in as many forms as it has been experienced. The same story of hardship, frustrations and desperation told over and over again. Who has stopped to listen, who have understood the story and who has it inspired to open up the doors? This are questions that we all need to ask ourselves. Many have stopped and listened, few have understood it, only one more inspired heart do we all need to make a difference. Poverty and the poor have been measured, calculated and analyzed. Yet all we need is to open our eyes to the plight of others, to have a little love in our hearts.

People are suffering behind closed doors, they spend a lifetime knocking on doors that remain shut. Now generations have come and gone yet we are still to make preparations for the youths. For how long shall the doors to education, equal opportunity and self reliance remain tight locked for the poor in society.There is always room for improvements, there are always grounds to build capacities and there is enough time for a revolution. The action of one person can change the course of history, how much more the actions of many in a united front. The foundation has already been laid by positive response by the poor to their own plight in group formations, project initiations and implementations. More and more disadvantaged groups in society are becoming aware of their problems and solutions to their problems and thus providing fertile grounds for expanding their horizons.

You need not command an army and you need not have a fat cheque to make an impact in the lives of others. Sometimes all we need is your time, your presence or an extra pair of hands. May be pick on your brains for we need to look at our situation from every angle. There is much that one can do; there is always a door that we could open for someone in need by our single effort. And just as many doors to close by our in-action. Take a look around you and dont close your eyes to those further a field. Take an interest in the welfare of those around you and spread that interest to as many people as you can. We all have a choice on what we can do, sometime the choices we make end up impacting on other people lives. A choice made may lead to just effortless actions but that transforms another human life. How much more convincing does it require to compel one to render back to society a just portion.

As much as poverty has robbed humanity of its dignity, it has left patches of hope that the poor use to face their future. Let us join hands and set the poor free from the chains of poverty. Lets open the doors to our hearts and minds. Help the people living in poverty, show your love for humanity and give the poor comfort today and hope for a better tomorrow.
