What Can One Person do?


About 1/5 of the Earth's population, or 1.1 billion people, currently live on less than $1 a day. It’s a bit overwhelming to think about how to start making a difference in those lives. But if you read my 100 list, you know that I am a big fan of making small changes that can make a diffence in the long run.

Here are 5 Things YOU Can do to make a change...
1) Sign the ONE Declaration
2) Give up 2 Fancy Coffees a month
3) Find an organization or church effort and get involved
4) Throw your own party for The Seed Project
5) Learn more about need in the world from World Ark Magazine

Here's a very interesting Photo Essay about what the world eats. The above photo is from the The Aboubakar family in Chad, who live on $1.23 a week. Pictured is their weekly food portions.
