Multiple choice

As a student you had formed an NGO to look after the needs of abandoned children. Five years later, the NGO is much bigger with many more volunteers and has fetched you accolades for your service to humanity. You are selected for a government job which requires you to have no other professional affiliations. You are torn between selecting the job or the NGO.

What would be an ethical choice for you in such a scenario?

  1. Transfer the NGO ownership in the name of your brother and assist him in your spare time.

  2. Shut down the NGO and concentrate on your job responsibilities.

  3. Join the job and keep running the NGO in your free time.

  4. Form a trust from among the more mature and responsible volunteers and hand over the administration of the NGO to them.
