Giving is better than
receiving is true, because by giving you
get more benefits. The thing to remember is, we do not have to always give materials or
money, but attention,
affection or just a sincere smile also can be best
gifts. I’ve found some – actually two – unique ways to give poor people in the
world.

Our neighbor, Australians, have unique habits to treat the needy –poor people—around them. There are not many beggars like we have in
Indonesia, but the people also give something different to them. There are some
cafes which provide suspended coffee. Did you ever hear that before? It’s is a
tradition where someone came to a cafe and buy a cup of coffee for herself or
himself , but she or he will pay for two or more of that. The purpose of this
tradition is in order to let the needy or beggars who don’t have enough money
can enjoy the coffee, like the payer feels. Of course, it’s free for them. Even in some cafe now not only provide suspended coffee, but
also have started offering sandwiches and
other foods to
be suspended. Because of this way, both of the giver and the reciever can be happy. The beggars will come to the
cafe coffee and
asking if there is
suspended today. If
they have, then a
maid cafe will answer "yes" and presents the
coffee. So a person who cannot buy it does
not just go in to warm the body in
the café, but
can also enjoy the coffee and food were
suspended by the
generous totally unknown
to them. I think it’s very touched-moment
when someone give someone else without knowing each other and drink a similar
cup of coffee, to share the happiness. If you want to get more information about this, please click www.suspendedcoffees.com .

people give through the refrigerator (source: GulfNews) |
Another tradition is no less great things done
by people of Hail, Saudi Arabia. They put fresh food in a refrigerator that is placed
on the side of the road. Everyone is free to give and free to take because it
is not locked. This is a creative way to give the needy people around the folks
who are ashamed to beg in the streets. This method also admired by the world and
even other countries to emulate. Those is some of the unique charity that I
have found and hopefully can inspire you to do something better for the people
around you. That's all from me thanks for reading.Bye!
