I am a software professional from India. It’s a comfortable desk job where only thing you have to do is push your brain. But now when I look at my life, I have deep sense of void in my life. All I do is work for myself, do things for myself and friends. Everything I do comes around the words me or a small we. That’s it! I am a civilian who will pass his life doing everything for myself and those close to me and nothing for the social cause except giving tax. But is this life all about? Is it all about our selfish greed and love for the ones close to us. I think atleast I have to go beyond this. And thankfully for me I don’t have to do much since there are organizations which are doing things for the social cause.

PETA
People for Ethical Treatment of Animals.

As the name describes PETA is all about stopping animal abuse. If you have tear in your eye when you see an injured dog on the road, a pity for the animal being beaten by the owner or hurt when you see them being abused and you have a will to fight for the cause then PETA is the thing.

GreenPeace
GreenPeace is another international community which is dedicated to save earth from its natural resources. Issues like pollution in all forms, killing of whales, opening plants which could be harmful for the environment. This an active organisations but most of the efforts are made by other GreenPeace people around the world rather than India.

I am already a member of Greenpeace and now would be for PETA as well. If I get time I would also work as a volunteer and would ask others too also.
