It's never too late to contribute

The fact that most people don't know how bad the issue of world hunger does not make it disappear, it is an issue that haunts every single nation in the world, on different levels. And if only we all made an effort to mitigate the problem, the poorest people in the world would have a reason to smile, at least for a moment.

It is sad to realize how usually the biggest contributions are made when a tragedy occurs, I realized this the other day as I heard something on the news about donations for Japan. It's great that we contribute when people need us the most, but why do we help the needy until a catastrophe occurs? Why is it so hard for us to realize that generous donations can be done  anytime? It's never too late to help the less fortunate, that's the purpose of thousands of organizations across the country that send not only food but also, medical services, education, etc to different nations.
