YOU DON’T NEED TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO ASK FOR HELP

 Helping others is important. Sometimes, people need help but do not ask for it. We can look around and see who needs our support. A small act of kindness can make a big difference.

For example, if you see an elderly person carrying heavy bags, you can offer to help. If your friend is sad, you can ask if they need to talk. These small actions show that you care.

Helping does not always mean giving money. You can share your time, listen to someone, or help with small tasks. When we help others, we make the world a better place.
