We’re
here for such a short time. When your great-great-grandkids study
history, don’t you want them to be proud that you were part of
the solution?
I can’t think
of any more important value to instill in our children than the
desire to help others. I feel strongly about setting an example
for them. Real problems can be solved by the next generation if
we instill in them the right values.
Please find
out what you can do to make a difference. Take five minutes to
educate yourself on an issue you didn’t know about before. Then
tell somebody else.
It's just
better to be yourself than to try to be some version of what you
think the other person wants.
Every 15
seconds, a child dies because of a lack of clean water and sanitation.
I should probably repeat that: Every 15 seconds, a child dies
because of a lack of clean water and sanitation. A billion people
on our planet will never have a clean drink of water. There are
2.5 billion people in the world without toilet facilities. That
kind of deprivation isn’t even on our radar in the U.S., but in
Africa it’s the central preoccupation of many people’s lives.
And the most devastating thing about it is that it takes so little
to change it. Just $25 will give someone clean water for life—yes,
just $25 will change someone’s future forever.
Poverty feeds
into the clean-water crisis, which contributes to hunger, and
so on. There’s undeniable interconnectivity among these issues.
Just one of these problems can be deadly on its own, but in the
most disadvantaged areas there is a perfect storm of problems.
And it takes its greatest toll on children.
