If
some good organisation in Eswatini works on HIV / AIDS, what has
it got to do with 99.99% of citizens in this world because they
will neither go to Eswatini or has a colleague, relative, friend
there ? (Eswatini,
a small, landlocked country in southern Africa, has the highest
HIV prevalence in the world, with 27.3% of adults living with HIV.
In 2018, 7,800 adults were newly infected with HIV and 2,800 people
died of an AIDS-related illness)..
I think they
are right and wrong.
First they are not legal citizens of Eswatini, and themself, their
family, their circle of relatives, friends, colleagues and country
has many challenges or issues, so going beyond that is not they
should do. So they are right.
Second, they are born in a country which is not Eswatini. But which
country or which parent you are born is not something which you
or anyone decides. It never was your decision. But being someone
who reads this means, you are grownup to understand. Remember, you
are a global citizens because what happens in a country far away
from you , affects you also. More than climate change, Corona or
Covid19 is an example. So what happens in any country in the world,
affects some people in the world, of which you are citizen. Now
someone is Ewatini is not your blood relative is not something which
decided before birth. In humanity, there are males, females and
transgenders. So think that everyone is this world is related to
you - not blood relative but human relative. So you are WRONG to
neglect the situation in Eswatini.
You are right
because like a corporate which manufactures mobiles, can not manufacture
every product on earth. It has a focus of work. So your focus of
help can be your country or an issue like cancer in any country.
But that is your focus of thinking.
But again, do
you think that a Golf player thinks and plays Golf 24 hours every
day with no holiday. NO. She or he eats, does exercise, meets family
or friends ... watches movies, looks at mobile messages ... so they
spend time beyond Golf. But they invest time in Golf.
Rest in relaxation or something beyond their focus. So if you think
challenges in any country in this world, you are thinking what challenges
your family (not blood relatives but world family) members face.
What Rohan is
teaching us integration.
What you hands do must be integrated with legs, what your brain
decides must have integration with your eyes, hands, legs, stomach
....
It does not mean that hands should replace legs or brain. Its doing
it together.
So what we are
doing is integrating the challenges millions face and what individuals
and organisations across from different country in this world are
doing to address challenges.
It is sensible
integration and not thinking without any sense.
And we cant go to Eswatini to decide the credibility of the NGO
which helps government address the challenges people their face.
So we share NGOs in every country but in the issue of HIV share
only those NGOs which are supported by large corporates or foundations
or funding agencies or philanthropists. We might be wrong but we
just share links so that you can take a right decision. Again people
brand everything right from the goddess or god they choose or companies
to products or ... so we have taken a decision to Brand NGOs by
name and not by country like Bill Gates or Warren Buffet is known,
we want Helpage, Pratham ... to be known as NGO Brands.
So this thinking
is thanks to the teaching we receive from Rohan of integration.
Another simple
example.
Think of a lady who is a good cook and the vegetable she makes are
great to eat.
Does she make vegetables. No. Farmers make it.
Does she make water she uses. No. Nature gives water.
Does she make stove or gasstove or hotplate. No. It is made by others.
Does she make sugar or salt. No. Somebody else makes it.
What she does is integration of all in right formula (corporate
style word) and makes a great vegetable.
Some thousand individuals and corporates, patent products they produce.
Our mothers dont patent the food they make. Its great food. But
no patent.
So CSRidentity.com
is integration of your work.
And we give credit to you. Because we name you and provide just
the link.
But investors
think its just data.
We should add somethin which is our own speciality.
We dont think that besides integration of millions in various country
in this life we can do anything else. We cant be a good doctor,
good lawyer, good company, good hospital, good food, good cook,
good gymnasim .... we want to be good integrators.
Yes, but corporates
still ask tell me which good NGO we should partner with in Kenya
or which corporate we should partner for cancer in Australia ...
we do that as consultancy.
But we know that we cant answer thousands of assignments at the
same time.
So we share good online and you to pick up. Its free.
Now people think anything free is not used properly.
You charge and then people will be attentive.
Yes and no.
Yes, because humans have damaged air so much that many live in pollution
driven world.
We hope they dont live with ventilators like they live with masks
since 2020-21.
If they want ventilators, we will tell them ventilator makers in
their country.
No. You dont pay air. You take it in when you breathe. Does nature
charge you?
So we think information is not chargeable.
But again, schools, colleges charge you fees. They charge because
they give Knowledge.
We think we give knowledge. But knowledge of millions of others.
We dont want
to charge you for what Newton did or Einstein did.
Yes, having invested time in advertising and PR, we know Brands
would like to get associated with great discoveries, great scientists,
companies in their country or NGOs in their country or funding agencies
or PR agencies or CSR of Fortune 500 companies .....
We will just give them opportunities.
If brands dont pick up these opportunities which we think are great,
then we are wrong.
We dont say they are wrong because we will say we did not tell them
or persuade them what is right and at what cost.
