تحاول جاهداً في حياتك أن تكون قوياً من أجل مجتمعك وعائلتك ومن أجل نفسك. تعمل جاهداً وتضحي من أجل من تحب. نجحت أحياناً وأخفقت احياناً أخرى. وفي الأحيان التي كنت تتحلى فيها بالقوة والعزيمة في إتخاذ القرارات، ربما دفعتك الأعباء المجتمعية إلى القيام بأمور لم تشعر بالإرتياح في القيام بها. وحين شعرت أن الأمور قد فاقت قدرتك على التحمل، قد تكون إنفجرت غضباً في وجه من تحب فاقداً بذلك السيطرة على نفسك، أو تفوّهت بأمور قد سببت لهم بالإيذاء، أو هددتهم/هن أو ضربتهم/هن بسبباً بذلك الأذى لنفس الأشخاص الذين أردت حمايتهم.

Why and how people and organizations give varies. Individuals mainly give because they are presented with a giving opportunity that motivates them. In turn, foundations give based on their specific defined philanthropic focus and goals, whereas a small part of donations from charitable contributions comes from corporations which seek to invest in community well-being.NGOs should then look at who the givers are and note who they give to — then connect the dots knowing that philanthropy is not necessarily compassion in action. It will often, if not mostly, be an investment in entities that...

Funding Agencies have recently begun to encourage the use of concept notes as a way for applicants to obtain feedback on their ideas and projects. The major purpose from the agencies’ point of view is to help those applicants develop more competitive projects and to save time by eliminating those that are not likely to be funded. However, the applicants' purpose in developing a concept note is to capture the interest of the funder and demonstrate that the idea proposed is worthy of further consideration. Through it, applicants can tell the reader what the project is, why it is important, and...
