World Vision Building a better world for children http://www.WorldVision.com mobileYouth supports World Vision and both the company and myself, Graham Brown and Josh Dhaliwal, donate a proportion of earnings to the cause. As an industry we have benefit immensely from the ingenuity and passion of young consumers. Where would we be today without SMS? We owe that to youth. I personally feel indebted to them and believe that if we as an industry endeavour to repay at least a nominal fraction back to those less fortunate than us then we have, to some degree, acknowledged how lucky we are. World Vision operates across the globe in community projects and relief work. You can get involved by visiting their website or better still why don’t you adopt a child at your office? For literally pennies ($25/month) – ie less than an average office spends on coffee - you and your colleagues can help raise a child out of poverty and in return receive regular holiday, birthday cards and school progress updates from them.
