What Is A Charity?

The dictionary definition is as follows: " generous actions or donations to aid the poor, ill, or helpless."

A great example of a charity would be Operation Smile. Let's break this example down with the definition:

-"generous actions" - Through Operation Smile, more than 130,000 children and young adults with cleft
lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities have been treated by
thousands of volunteers worldwide and thousands of medical
professionals have been trained globally.

-"donations" - This organization serves as a gateway, allowing people to become volunteers, or donate money/time. Operation Smile has 4,000 credentialed medical volunteers ready to donate their time and talent.

-"aid the poor, ill, or helpless" - The doctors, team members, and volunteers for Operation Smile help children in other countries who otherwise would never receive this cleft palate surgery based on cost or availability of medical help. This cleft palate charity helps people change their lives.

A charity is a humanitarian talented peace heart giving to the needy though a 100% volunteer time and wealth and a non-profit business.
