Focus Group Discussion 1:
Moderator: Good afternoon everyone, thank you for joining us today. Today we will be discussing the use of pictures and posters of motherless babies to seek alms in motor parks, churches, and event centers. What are your thoughts on this practice?
Participant 1: I think it's a very effective way to raise awareness and funds for motherless babies. Seeing a picture of a baby in need can really tug at people's heartstrings and encourage them to donate.
Participant 2: I agree, I think it's a powerful way to get people to take action and help those in need. It's hard to ignore a picture of a helpless baby who needs our help.
Participant 3: While I understand the intention behind using these pictures, I think it can also be exploitative. People may feel pressured to donate out of guilt or pity, rather than genuine concern for the babies.
Moderator: That's a valid point. Do you think there are better ways to raise funds for motherless babies without resorting to using pictures of them?
Participant 4: I think organizations could focus on sharing the stories and successes of the babies they have helped, rather than just showing their suffering. It's important to show that there is hope and progress being made.
Participant 5: I also think transparency is key. If people know exactly where their donations are going and how they are being used to help these babies, they may be more inclined to donate.
Moderator: Thank you all for your insights. It's clear that there are both positive and negative aspects to using pictures of motherless babies to seek alms. It's important for organizations to consider the ethical implications and find ways to effectively communicate their message without exploiting those in need.
