CFAC- Choice For A Change
Change is always inevitable and the dream
of positive change of something always exists in most of us, at least
for self. It’s letting down when we look at the capacities of the individuals
and groups that are not utilized to the maximum, as there is no direction and encouragement or
effort. CFAC (Choice for a change) is an initiative to build an integration between
people to do their best in the best manner that gives greater happiness. It
aims to build a network of volunteers and professionals who have different
interests and talents, and help them to realize and utilize their fullest capacities
in a meaningful manner so that it may benefit the self as well as others.
Today we live in a fast-moving and
competitive environment that makes the people forget about others and pursue
whatever is beneficial for the self, though it may affect the other person. We
are born and brought up with the selfish causes and selfishness is the root
cause of all problems. In order to promote the social outlook in people,
