There are different kinds of problems. Real problems and not so real problems.

You know.

There are those problems that I think are huge, but pale in comparison to real problems.

Like running out of toilet paper or milk or both at the same time.

After that actually happened to me, I now see that this wasn’t really a big deal.

But, I do consider people living with preventable diseases and thinking nothing can be done about them is a huge problem.

Agree?

Well, I want to do something for my birthday.

I want to do something big.

Can a blog really make a huge difference?

Absolutely.

This is where these people need our help.

For the next 24 hours, we are going to save lives.

Real lives.

All you have to do is buy a malaria net.

This would be the best gift you could ever give me.

Now, you’re now probably thinking how you are going to raise $9000 for one malaria net in a day.

Well you’re in luck.

They’re only $10.

That’s it.

$10.

100% of the money goes to buying the nets and distributing them. These nets will be going to Central Uganda to help stop malaria there. You’ll also be sent the GPS coordinates of where your exact net goes and be able to Google Earth the location of the person who’s life you saved. Pretty cool, huh?

Once you do make a donation, you’re saving a life so please leave the comment below, “Today I saved ### lives.”

charity: water is something near and dear to my heart. They help people out that are without clean water and give them a chance to live healthy lives by building clean water wells. Something so simple that every developed country takes for granted each and every day. We don’t even think about life without clean water. They deserve it, too. Do something about it.

Today at lunch I met with someone to talk about different charities and how things could improve. We were discussing the differences that could take place if churches didn’t spread out all of their resources between every country known to man, but instead focused all their resources on just one country at a time. It seemed to us that if one country was taken for Christ, then others would start taking notice. And then switch the focus to a different country every two years or whatever time limit seemed reasonable. So, do you think focusing on one country at a time would be better than spreading money, time, effort, etc. between a lot of countries or do you not see the point in that?

There are so many charities. There are so many people that are hurting and that are in need and it all requires money,change, cheese, dollaz, whatever you wanna call it. I could go down the list here, but I won’t. So, here’s the question- With so many organizations and charities, how do you decide who to give your money to?
