The Oath for Compassionate Service • Never do for the poor what they have (or could have) the capacity to do for themselves. • Limit one-way giving to emergency situations. • Strive to empower the poor through employment, lending, and investing, using grants sparingly to reinforce achievements. • Subordinate self-interests to the needs of those being served. • Listen closely to those you seek to help, especially to what is not being said—unspoken feelings may contain essential clues to effective service. • Above all, do no harm. - Toxic Charity
