It does do something long term… it teaches your kid to keep recognising underprivileged people that are living around him, and there are ways he can use what he has to help them.

Social welfare can exist on a personal level, not just through the state, and on that personal level, all the better when it is a daily habit… which happens when started early in one’s life.
