But I would recommend this class. It was thought-provoking and not preachy.

I truly admire Bill Gates because he's shaming other gazillionaires into giving back instead of collecting yachts, but everyone can make a difference.<br />I have just organised a sponsored walk for a small school in Ghana. We raised a lot of money but not Gates' type "lot" however, it will enable the school to tile all the floors, plumb in a toilet, start building another classroom and obtain decent water supply for the kids. It doesn't matter how small your efforts, it always makes a difference to someone.Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951661070053702068.post-90289275794291503542010-05-23T04:07:29.760-07:002010-05-23T04:07:29.760-07:00Michelloui, I think the old adage 'charity beg...Michelloui, I think the old adage 'charity begins at home' is very wise. And you're right---doing a nice deed for someone can really make their day and it gives us all a sense of hope that the majority of people really are kind.Nappy Valley Housewifehttp://nappyvalleyhousewife.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951661070053702068.post-63506994399564965442010-05-21T09:34:13.838-07:002010-05-21T09:34:13.838-07:00This sounds really interesting.

For them, it was nothing and they probably didnt even remember it by the end of the week. For me, their small, effortless kindness was life changing. I always remember that feeling when I am given the opportunity to help someone--even if it is just letting them out in a line of traffic. <br /><br />And its all relative. Bill Gates gives more money because he has more to give. He probably helps more people as well. But the one person I helped today, or the two people tomorrow, will be just as grateful as each individual Bill Gates helps.Michellouihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16841678308675092702noreply@blogger.com
