To give, or not to give (a shit)

I love my current facebook status update and it really presents the frustration that ive been feeling for quite a while now.
We dont give a shit when our country goes to the dogs. We study about how dictators have all but killed our democracy, how our public sector organizations are ineffecient and our governers are inept. We study about how due to no continuity of policies, our country has now become a lepper begging for financial aid. But we dont do anything about it.
But i will. Ive decided to do something about it. Im not sure just what yet, but ive promised myslef that i will help out, in any way i can.
ive decided that once i graduate and am well settled in a secure job, (that gives me a three - four month timeline) i will dedicate either a certain portion of my time every month/week towards a social cause. It may be providing free teaching/career counseling at the primary level, meeting with old people and listening to their worries or even holding free business planning workshops.
Anything that will help the people of my country in the long term. And i WILL do it.
