YOU DON’T NEED A LOT OF MONEY TO BE GENEROUS

 Being generous does not mean you have to spend a lot of money. You can show kindness in many ways without spending anything. For example, you can help a friend with homework, share your lunch, or give someone a compliment. Small actions can make a big difference.

Another way to be generous is to give your time. You can visit a sick friend, help clean the house, or volunteer in your community. These actions show that you care about others. You do not need to buy expensive gifts to make people happy.

Finally, generosity is about kindness and love. A smile, a kind word, or a simple hug can make someone feel special. True generosity comes from the heart, not from your wallet.
