OATH FOR COMPASSIONATE SERVICE Robert Lupton

• Never do for the poor what they have (or could have) the capacity to do for themselves.

• Limit one-way giving to emergency situations (crisis situation=YES, chronic situation=NO).

• 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.

• Identify existing relationships.

• Lists of information are good, but stories are even better because they can reveal hidden social and cultural assets.

• Don’t forget natural and built assets (landmarks, parks, buildings, etc.).
