There are different ways of helping poor people\u2014 by providing them some basic skills in their lives and by making them understand that there are different means to improve their lives . One can do this \u00a0by different means and different ideologies\u2014 spiritual, industrial, educational etc.\u00a0 People work in industry, and they have to be given basic features of machinery that is part of the industry. They also require to be taught \u00a0at various levels pre- school, formal school, College and University levels.<\/p>\n

Spiritual guidance is provided to children through different religious means \u2014 \u00a0 by making them aware of some basic teachings of several Gods such as Christianity, Hinduism, Sikh religion and some smaller faiths \u00a0and their basic features.\u00a0 These \u00a0prompt children and even elder people to lead good unselfish lives . These means allow people to serve mankind and help people to live comfortably in the complex world of mountains, hills, various animals, fish and other living bodies. The teachings also generally include some knowledge of the planet Earth on which we live, and how to keep it clean and green. Teachings also include the importance of water bodies \u2014 rivers, oceans, ponds \u00a0and the basic idea that water is essential for human beings as well as for animals and acquatic creatures.<\/p>\n

One teaches small children by teaching them how to read and write; by allowing them to do simple physical excercises such as running around, by jumping, by playing simple games, by Yoga, etc. The thrust here is to impart some basic knowledge of the human body and how to keep it in good shape by physical activity etc.<\/p>\n

Education has become essential for people to read and write and to give them a broad idea of our world that include mountains and hills, water bodies and the interaction of people with these geographic entities.<\/p>\n

Another feature that has become essential is to understand how to keep the human environment proper and clean in spite of the human \u00a0interaction with the various geographic features.<\/p>\n
