"La verdadera generosidad consiste en esforzarse para que estas manos ya sean de individuos o de los pueblos necesiten extenderse cada vez menos en súplica para que cada vez más se conviertan en manos humanas que trabajan y al trabajar transforman el mundo."
— Paulo Freire
Simplified Meaning:
People show real kindness by helping others become independent and self-sufficient. Instead of just giving money or aid, it’s better to help others learn and grow so they can take care of themselves. This way, they start to depend less on others and can stand on their own. Imagine a teacher who provides students not just with answers, but teaches them how to find the answers on their own. Over time, the students will not rely on the teacher for every problem; they will gain confidence and skills to solve their issues. Similarly, in our communities, supporting job training, education, and personal development programs can lead to a stronger, more resilient society. Eventually, people won’t just be receiving help—they’ll be actively contributing to and improving the world around them.
