Over the years Ive been increasingly frustrated about wanting to do something, anything that had a direct profound affect on the world’s poor. The biggest threat to World Peace and the general well-being of the human race is poverty. Hunger alone kills dozens and dozens of people every minute.

I’ve always wanted to help out in some way and I continue to donate money to my favourite charities like UNICEF, UNHCR, Amnesty International, One. I havent told anyone this but I came so close to taking 4 weeks off last year and donating my time to the UN, for them to send me anywhere they needed doners that might need my help. But according to the UN site, they only accept people to donate about 4 month’s of their time for field locations. Hopefully one day, I will take a few months off from the rat race and donate my time for the good of my fellow human beings.

In the mean time I have Kiva.org, and Im very excited to share it here. Kiva is an amazing site, where I can make a direct loan to someone in the developing world to help them get on their feet to start their own business and support their family. The loan is almost nothing - as small as $25 - to about $200, which translates to huge amounts in countries like Bangladesh, Ghana, or Pakistan. Such a small donation goes a long way in feeding a family of four or more. I mean I spend $25 in a few days on cappuccinos! So now, I dont think anyone has an excuse and say that they want to help, but can not.

Eradicating Poverty, not dropping bombs, is the only way to beat global terrorism. To give hope to people that have none, to let them know that people care and that we are all one - that is the way to move forward and live in peace. Because if people have hope and dignity, why would they follow the idealogical bullshit lies from radical religious fucks that use that hopelessness to create the next-gen terrorists. Its up to us to restore balance in the world.
