The Act of Giving Back
Dr.
J.T. “Dock” Houk is a philanthropic leader and an originator in the field
of fundraising. His selfless character and dedication to helping those around
him has helped him with all of his achievements throughout his career. Not everyone
has the ability or character to become involved in charity work and it takes a
special kind of person to help others who are in need.
Charity work can come in all shapes and sizes and is the act
of giving of money, goods or time to those who are less fortunate. It is easy
for people to get caught up in their own everyday lives and to face their
obstacles in life, but taking a step back and helping out those who have far
greater problems and less to survive on is an honorable act. The most basic
forms of charity work include providing essential necessities such as food,
water, healthcare and shelter but it can extended to far greater measures. There
is no right or wrong or too much or too little to the amount each individual
can give back to another person, family or community. Helping those around you
should be something we all practice and do our part in to make our world a
better place to live.
