Village Earth (appreciate what you have, and help those who haven't)
Ranked #930 in Local, #91,396 overall
If the Earth were a Small Village, what would the stats look like?
The following YouTube video shows, in perfect clarity, the massive differences between the world's richest and the world's poorest. And the numbers following the world's religions. And the numbers going hungry. And the numbers connected to the internet. And the numbers who are educated.
100% of the profits generated from
this lens are automatically donated
to Action Against Hunger. Thank you.
YOU
If you are reading this page right now then you are in at least the top 3% of people on Earth who are in a position to do something about the Village Numbers you'll see on this short video.But then, if the whole 3% decided to do nothing.....
Well. Nothing would change. The next 50 years would turn out pretty much like the last 50.
So if you are reading this right now, and I know you are(!), then do something today differently to what you did yesterday.
I never ask for anything without saying please... so please. Just watch the video and go from there.

I'm a KIVA Loaner. Check the charity out!
The people you lend money to use it to start up a business with the help of KIVA partners, then pay you back with the proceeds.
With this charity you don't make a donation. You make a loan. To a person of your choosing. And you also get it back within about 18 months. And you can loan it out again to somebody else!-
KIVA: For The Love Of Kiva!

About an hour ago I was checking out the Philanthropy blog here on Squidoo and discovered a cool charity called Kiva. They match YOU (and your spare dollars) with people in poorer countries looking for loans to start businesses. So I decided to lend...

- Great lens. Very cool question and video to put things in perspective. Just like the idea of 100 million stars in each of the 100 million galaxies of this universe.
Everything you say is great. But in the end all your good works will avail you nothing. You still have to know who you are.
