We’d all like to do our part to make the world a better place. Despite some evidence to the contrary, I believe that people generally do the best that they can in a given set of circumstances, that they genuinely want to do what is right, to help others.
But doing so feels often like an insurmountable task. Too much, too big, too difficult.
I’m here to tell you that that’s a cop-out. There’s a lot you can do, in your life, in your community, in your time. And here’s where you can start: click here, once a day, every day, and help the Literacy Site give a book to a child who will not otherwise have one. It’s simple, it’s quick, and it will lower the frightening statistic of 90 million Americans being functionally illiterate.
(And while you’re there, don’t forget to click on the other sites: the hunger site, the child health site, the breast cancer site, the animal rescue site, and the rainforest site.)
Five minutes a day to change the world. Not a bad deal!
