Humanitarian Relief Other significant considerations for both individual and organizational relief work include constructive consultations with other volunteers, democratic decision-making and transparency. Volunteerism and our new generation: It is a widely held observation that our communities lack in nurturing the culture of volunteerism among our youth in schools and universities. Our younger generations are not as informed nor overly concerned about the concept of voluntary work and helping others. This may be due to a lack of proper family upbringing, together with deficiencies of school and university curricula towards establishing and nurturing the spirit and value of volunteerism. Financial and economic factors are other possible attributable factors. Moreover, most non-governmental and social organizations lack the programs, skills and media coverage to address the youths and motivate them to engage in voluntary social and relief activities. This has created an unhealthy social ambience in our communities that envisages volunteerism as an exceptional undertaking rather than the norm or rule. This handicap in dealing with our youths should be properly addressed and remedied to create a positive and constructive culture of volunteerism. Our societies and humanity at large are in need of voluntary organizations and institutions to complete or substitute what governments fail to accomplish. Moreover, these institutions provides knowledge of deficiencies and needs of communities, which is instrumental in calling for reforms and remedial actions by official state planning or by nongovernmental actions. Many of these voluntary institutions work professionally within their niche relief zones and channels the community’s resources in an efficient and impactful manner. Their humanitarian relief efforts help to alleviate many of the maladies and sufferings in the community which the state maybe oblivious of or lacks the political will or the capacity to deal with. Volunteerism and employment: Many vital aspects of social, charitable, educational and other activities cannot be effectively or efficiently performed by full time employees, whether in the public or private sector. Employees have limited hours of actual work, and usually have limited scope of involvement and commitment towards the many needs of their communities. This handicap of the role of the state and its employees, leaves significant gaps which needs to be addressed by various voluntary organizations. Voluntary institutions which are wholly dedicated to humanitarian relief, fired with passion for the cause combined with flexibility and a pragmatic work culture and a relative lack of bureaucracy and corruption serves the wider community better and often at a much smaller cost. Volunteerism and employment, however, should complement one another to share accomplishments and responsibilities at different times, scopes, places and circumstances. Moreover, the working relationships between volunteers and employees should always be harmonious and constructive. Useful tips and advice: • Organized volunteerism should be shouldered by professionals with proper training and skills in their field of action, with quality standards of performance. • A volunteer should be selective in choosing the specific field he/she desires to devote and dedicate his/her efforts. Volunteers constitute a very precious resource to the community, and humanity at large, and selectivity is essential for the best outcomes. • Voluntary work should be provided within a sense of responsibility, commitment and moral obligation. One should always try to FIMA YearBook 2010-2011 6
Humanitarian Relief remain humble in this noble vocation and not make too much noise about volunteering one’s time, effort, knowledge and experience. • Humility, compassion, empathy and harmonious working relationships are indispensable qualities of volunteers. Needless to say, egocentricity and a superiority complex is contradictory to the above values. • Communities and individuals afflicted with various tragic circumstances, especially at times of disasters, are all human beings and deserve care and compassion, regardless of color, ethnicity, religion or nationality. A Muslim volunteer is a true world citizen. • Harmony and respect in working relationships with paid employees of governments or organizations, is mandatory for success of relief work. • Culture of volunteerism should be nurtured and spread in communities, with special attention to the youth. • Volunteerism needs a long or sometimes even a life-time commitment. One may increase or decrease one’s involvements but one should never stop. There is no rest for a Muslim until he meets his Creator. • Although voluntary work in many instances is optional, in certain urgent or life saving situations in which the skills of the volunteer is indispensable, voluntary work by qualified individuals becomes mandatory. Like other Forood al-kifayah, the volunteers and the whole society, become accountable and guilty if the relief work is not provided in due time. • Finally, some enthusiastic individuals and groups may raise issues of propagation (dawah) of Islam, together with volunteerism and relief work. Sincerity, humility, compassion, professionalism and quality performance are the real parameters of humanitarian services. Actions speaks louder than words and undoubtedly, the syaksiah (personality) of the Muslim volunteer and his amal (deeds) would speak voluminously for the beauty of his deen (creed).
