Abstract
Two friends were walking along the beach and saw lots of Nile tilapias that were washed ashore by wave. They were twisting in agony. One of the friends started picking and throwing the fish back in the water. His friend reminded him that it is of no use - "It doesn't matter the amount of effort you make, you cannot save all of them, leave them, and let's move on". The friend responded while showing him the one in his hand -"well it matters to this one am holding" And he threw it into the water and continued the rescue mission as far as he could go. Do not say that the needs of the people are numerous that you cannot solve all. Do not say that the poor, the needy and the migrants or refugees are too many that you need not waste your time trying to help. These should not be counted as numbers but as individuals. Alleviating the pains and suffering of one of them can be counted as important as helping a whole lot of them.
