"Charity begins at home". This means that we must not take our family, friends or close neighbours for granted.
As a start, we can be kind and considerate to them. It is at home, in school or the neighbourhood that we first experience and share our happiest and saddest moments, with members of the family, or close friends and neighbours. We need their support and encouragement in whatever we do.
We can bring much joy and comfort by the little things we do, for the people at home, friends at school and in the neighbourhood. Try to see your actions through the eyes of your family, friends and neighbours. What do you like or dislike in the things that you see? If you can put yourself in their shoes, you will discover what it takes to make life more pleasant for everyone. So brighten their day with these and other small acts of kindness.
