1. Almost
half
of the world
over
3,000,000,000
(billion)
people
live on less than $2.50 a day

2. and...
I never did anything
about it
because...

3. I didn’t know it was that bad

4. I decided to explore
the issues
I found new causes I believe in
at

5. 25,000 of poverty
children die
every day

6. yet I never
saved
a life
because
I didn’t think I could make a difference

7. So I let go of
my assumptions
If I assume I
can’t help
then I
never will
because a 2% diversion of Christmas
spending would put $20 billion toward
eradicating world poverty

8. Almost $1 trillion per year is spent
on holiday gifts.
Less than 1% of that could
put every child in the world
in school
yet it never
happens

9. I never gave because I’m just one person

10. If everyone does
nothing
then
nothing
will change.
If
Everyone
cares
Then
Everything
will change
but...
That’s not logical.

11. Nearly 1 billion people
entered the 21st century
unable to read a book
or sign their names.

12. I didn’t help
because I couldn’t afford to give

13. Some conceptions need to be destroyed.
Slay the Sacred Cow.
Think Creatively
A little is better than nothing.
Everyone
can afford
to give
Something

14. But charities aren’t
efficient anyways.
Most of the money goes to
overhead and salaries.

15. “what concerns me is not the way
things are, but rather the way people
think things are”-Epictetus, Philosopher
100%
of donations through
go directly to the project of
choice

16. 1.1 billion people in developing
countries
have inadequate
access to water

17. yet I’ve been too busy to give

18. So I reversed my viewpoint
“You can’t see the good ideas in front of you by looking twice as hard at
what’s behind you” -Andrew Mercer, Innovator
Online gifting at
takes less than 5
minutes to complete

19. And I couldn’t find a
cause I believed in

20. So I challenged the rules
and gave to a friend
There are almost 100
projects in
he can choose from

21. I changed the way I think.
made a donation, gave a gift, and changed the world.
You can do the same
