Bahamians - Charitable People
January 6th, 2011
It never ceases to amaze me the way people jump in and help others in a time of crisis. Everyone is so busy these days it would seem there is no time left for considering the needs of others, but the way I’ve seen people pull together in support of the needy is truly inspiring. A few days ago an entire neighbourhood in New Providence burned to the ground leaving countless people homeless during the holiday season. Thanks to the wonders of modern techonology and so many driven and kind people, within hours an island wide collection of food and clothing was being organized in aid of the victims. What makes me most proud to live in this wonderful country is that Bahamians and residents from all over the world can pull together with very little preamble and get right to the purpose of helping. The Bahamas has many succesful charitable organizations that extend valuable assistance but what is really amazing to watch is how quickly people will give up their time and put aside their own problems in order to lend a hand.
I supposed this is just one of the many reasons visitors to the Bahama Islands fall in love and make it their permanent home.
