Opinion essay Albert F

"Charity work shouldn't be needed today, people should look after themselves"

Nowadays, many people feel that charity work shouldn't be needed because people should care about themselves. But could this be posible?

First of all, I would like to say that I'm not agree with the previous statement. I base myself in what I saw in my last trip to Africa. Those people whose houses are made with mud, need the charity work. For hundreds of years, first world countries have been benefiting from those countries, and now that someone offers help, this people say that they have to look after by themselves. We can't expect that "miracle" where we remove hope.

I find it hard to see why people doesn't want charity. I am sure that if people who say that could see the effects of their work, they would change their opinion. The problem is that their welfare blinds them.

To summarise, I would like to say that charity work helps more than 2 million people every year, and it would be a shame if we forgot about that.
