As a person growing up in this world we live in we are
told that it’s good to always give back to those less fortunate. But remember
that when you do give back, it shouldn't be in order to receive something back
in return. Do it out of the goodness of your heart.

Landing a helping hand through CSI
Corporate social investment is defined as the concept where people and
usually organizations give back to the community in which they operate or come
from. It is also defined as the continuing commitment by businesses to
behave ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the
quality of life of the workplace as well as the local community and society at
large. www.clevelandcarbonfund.org

Well there is one woman
who took it to the extreme and through her music she educated and also
created more awareness for the United Nations campaign of the World
Humanitarian Day, which is held every year on the 19th August.
The
campaign is all about recognizing those who face danger and adversity to help
others.
Beyonce Gissel Knowles-Carter is an award winning artist that
is known by many as the Queen of Pop. She is one of the inspiring women on
earth and has made it on the top5 of Forbes list of the Most Powerful Female
Celebrities in the world. Her song “I was here” was launched on the 10th
of August 2012 as a celebration of all the humanitarian work all over the
globe, in form of a unique event featuring a world renowned artist and was held
at the UN’s (United Nations) General Assembly in New York, in the United States
of America, to inspire people to leave a mark on the world.

More Charity work
She is mostly known for her humanitarian work such as her Survivor Foundation, an organization founded to help victims of Hurricane Katrina. At one point BeyoncĂ© was also an Ambassador for the 2005 World Children’s Day, and released “Stand Up For Love,” the anthem for the event which takes place annually around the world on November 20 to raise awareness and funds for children’s causes. Now the new anthem for the World Humanitarian Day is “I was here”.Now in conclusion, I’ve learned from all this is that you don’t need to have money in order to make a difference and leave your footprints on this earth. All it takes is a small good deed and see the change happen.

No organisation will invest its resources into any community without expecting return, money is important to organisations and good use of it with results is important.Beyonce also used her survivor foundation to gain support from citizens. It is always a win win situation, money well spent must have a reward.
ReplyDeleteNever mind her returns from the foundation, what matters is that they went to good use and many helpless people benefited from them
Deletei agree with Mpho most of organisations do investments with expectations of benefiting at the end.
ReplyDeleteNot all of them are, some actually do it out of the goodness of their hearts i believe.
DeleteIts true that there are a few people and organisations out there that still believe in CSI, a lot of them are more interested in community relations which is a win-win situation. But i would say that it doesnt matter if organisations or individuals do things like charity work expecting media exposure in return, as long as they serve the community.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you there, the community is what matters at the end of the day.
Deletei believe that there are organisations who do CSI out of the goodness of their hearts and not expecting anything in return but i must say they are very few.
ReplyDeleteYes they are a few that actually do that, but we should rather focus on those people that are benefiting from the CSI projects.
