correct answer to each of the questions
Charity organizations are responsible for most of the help extended to the destitute. Each
organization caters to a different group of people.
The Red Cross is a well-known organization that has centres in countries all over the world. It had
its beginnings in a small Italian town in 1859. A fierce battle was taking place then and more than forty
thousand people were wounded. The medical services of the army were inadequate. The situation
horrified a Swiss businessman who then wrote a book depicting the dreadful situation. His book was the
impetus for the setting up of charity organizations.
Today, countries emulate the workings of the Red Cross. They carry out fund raising activities to
help children who cannot receive an education or victims of natural disasters. Both the young and old
contribute willingly to these organizations. In fact, without these charity organizations, millions of people
around the world would perish because of poverty or natural disasters.
In India, a compassionate woman started PUSS (Palli Unnayan Sevi Samiti). Supported by social
workers and teachers, she has helped hundreds of children receive a proper education. Without her help,
the literacy rate in India would be much lower than what it is today.
Charity organizations are crucial today. They cannot function without the benevolent people who
help to run these organizations.
