I really believe that if everyone made this cause a part of their lives, however small that contribution may be, we could acheive the goals set out in Jeffrey Sachs book, The End of Poverty and make those goals a reality by 2025

If you can get 100,000 people to actually do something you ask them to, I would use that ability for something constructive.

We do a lot of charity work as a family. I agree with you - it's a great idea to teach your kids while they're young that we have a responsibility to help other people. It gives me hope that the next generation will be decent, compassionate human beings and care about more than just themselves.

I've always been the type of person who loves to do the charity thing for those unfortunate people I see on streets(selling flowers, candies, newspapers for a living). I've always wanted to offer them help but I have nothing but my allowances. So this is the very thing I will do with my power. Make these people feel they belong to the society.

dont think the world owes you something, rather, give something to the world

It already is.  As they are much more subtle than we, it does not look like much, unless you look closely as you have.  They have been buying up parts of the US, Africa, the Pacific Rim,  and negotiating deals all over the world as well.  The have invested heavily in education while our kids can't compete with Rwanda in math and science.  AS the world goes digital, and international conglomeration of business is nearly complete, people in our society will find they cannot compete, lacking even the basics in education.  I think we may well wake up one morning to find we have fallen way behind, and discover we have become a third world nation.

some of your present needs may be fulfilled.But in the future you have to sacrifice many things viz.,youth,friends and family etc.you have no other way.Better organize a forum and make your representations.

i dont know how you can do that but i think it's a great idea. The world fefinitely needs such an effort. If you achieve your goal could you please notify me in some way?

Not nearly enough, but then I am a bit of a junkie, so anyway, I'm going to work as hard as I can to encourage American citizens to get involved with the issues that make a difference to you. I have seen more young people with much more awareness, and interest in past few years which is good.

I suggest that you make small goals and start concetrating on what you want to do.

It would be an interesting experience for me. I would do it, not only for the money. It would teach me to understand a part of our society that is often ignored. Then, I will donate the money to an organization that helps homeless people.

Give some to the people who need it, and charity

No.  Too much money to build something ridiculous like that, and the people of this country should have access to their government and their government leaders.  once you start putting our leaders even *more* into an Ivory Tower, they'll care even less what goes on with the 'little people'.
