The document describes the origins and growth of Charity Focus, a nonprofit organization focused on inspiring philanthropy. It began as a small gathering hosted by Nipun Mehta, the founder of Charity Focus, that grew larger than expected. This led Nipun to crash at a friend's apartment and later speak at a Charity Focus retreat. The document goes on to describe initiatives like the Failure Club, which aimed to pursue ambitious goals and confront failure, and the Karmic Auction, which transformed monetary donations into greater social impact. It provides examples of how the Karmic Auction encouraged philanthropic acts in both children and adults.

Use this fun drawing game to remind youth that God showed us "true love" but we have turned our back on God and thus our understanding and standards for true love have degraded.
This PPS is entitled "Gems" which means precious stones. Actualy the gems I am talking about are not precious stones but something equally valuable and that are the wise sayings which are a guidance in life. All the Slides exhibited are sparkling stones. The show is accompanied by : "The Impossible Dream" orginally from the film Don Quijotte "The Man of La Mancha".Enjoy!
We’ve all heard that content is king, yet when it comes to designing web experiences we’re still stuck with lorem ipsum and placeholder images, as though the real content didn’t matter.
We’re still designing web experiences from the top down, starting with the desktop view of the homepage, even though they’re more likely to be experienced from the bottom up – starting with a content detail page on a mobile device.
Designing from the content out means starting with atomic elements of content, and building a system of components and layouts based on the real structure of content.
The content management vendor landscape is like a subway on game day: crowded, noisy, and confusing. Lots of people seem to be getting to their destination, but it's also easy to get lost. Platform vendors and implementors promise ease of use, low cost of ownership, and the opportunity to provide ROI to stakeholders while engaging audiences from prospective students (and their parents) to alumni, from undergraduates to research lab directors and development offices.
The reality, of course, is far more complex. While technical platforms certainly form a key part of any content management strategy—and every organization will find some platforms a better fit than others—the real challenges are far more human. Choosing an adequate or suitable platform is necessary but by no means sufficient for long-term success. We'll explore some of the key myths of content management as they apply to higher education and uncover the realities those myths obscure.
What’s wrong with the traditional approach to requirements definition and how a more proactive, collaborative, prototype and visualization driven approach generates better results.
Client Diplomacy: From Adversaries to AlliesJohn Eckman
Lightning Talk (10 minus) presented at WordCamp NYC at the UN
Too often in web design and development we treat clients as the enemy - irritating, ill-informed, pointy-haired-boss style business people who don't "get" what we do.
If instead we treated clients as our allies, and aligned our interests to theirs - recognizing that their success is out ultimate goal - we'd achieve better outcomes.
